“Pivot” sounds like an easy dance step, but it has thrown your Marses into business negotiations, endless questions about job relevance, and creative professions. Anyone can take a photo, anyone can paint. But Pinoys will always have the special talent for begging for a visa.

No time to say a prayer for your dwindling finances because being down and out is not an option! What do you do when doors are closing? Survive! Like everyone else who knows the foolishness of youth, your Marses have had to haul themselves past tight situations. They talk about clawing your way out of the spiral of unknowns in a foreign land. Riding the waves of joblessness. And finally, with a painful crack of your knuckles, of learning to scrape inspiration and motivation from nothing. “Pivot” sounds like an easy dance step, but it has thrown your Marses into business negotiations, endless questions about job relevance, and creative professions. Anyone can take a photo, anyone can paint. But Pinoys will always have the special talent for begging for a visa.
