Open Faithed

I genuinely felt happy about working in a multi-cultural environment, for or with people from different ethnic backgrounds who are mostly in their 20s. Waheeda was the Quality POC. She wore a white veil with subtle embroideries. The Quality Specialists were Jesvinder, - a Punjabi in a red Turban, Nickesh – a Hindu who supported the football club Arsenal, and Adrian – who was Chinese in ethnicity but we didn’t touch upon his religion.

They asked if I was Chinese and I said I was Filipino. I believe, I am Roman Catholic.

Punjabi, Hindi, Muslim, Buddhist?, and Catholic --- we all spoke the same boring call center lingo. They took me to the Rasa Sayang and Kedai Mamak that every corner in KL seemed to have.

In the Philippine office – the closest you’ll come to religious diversity would be:

1.) Catholic/Christian
2.) INC
3.) El Shaddai
4.) Born Again
5.) Dating Daan
6.) Loyal Noranian Fans Club (Pasay Chapter) since 1975.
