Some years ago, popular columnist Jessica Zafra founded a magazine in Manila named Flip: The Official Guide to World Domination, in which she argued that Filipino migrant workers were the vanguard for a global takeover. Today, she admits she was wrong [1]. “I thought we were going to achieve world domination through our maids and nannies,” she writes. “It turns out we're not really interested in world domination; we just want to be maids and nannies so we can get out of here.”
