00:00This is RSP, another inspiring Filipina.

00:04This is the heart that we will talk about today.

00:08But before that, let's watch this first.

00:13Meet Sally Ria Malayan, a Filipina who's not just saving lives, but also changing them.

00:20From being a top-notcher in the 2010 nurse licensure exam in the Philippines,

00:25she went to Norway in 2012 as an au pair.

00:28But her journey didn't end there.

00:31Because in 2013, she also established her charity organization,

00:36The Filipino Helping Society,

00:38to help those affected by the Yolanda earthquake

00:41and to fight for the independence and hope of Filipinos and other minority groups in Norway.

00:48From saving lives in the ER to building bridges in the community,

00:52Sally really proved that Filipinos can shine anywhere in the world.

00:57So let's find out Sally Ria Malayan's story here on She Shines.

01:06And now, we have with us Sally Ria Malayan.

01:10Good morning and welcome to Rising Shine Filipinas.

01:13This is Prof P, together with Meiji.

01:16Happy New Year!

01:19Happy New Year and good morning, Prof P,

01:22and to all the other hosts and viewers.

01:27Good morning.

01:28Happy New Year, Sally.

01:30So can you tell us, your story is very interesting,

01:33from being a top-notcher and then you went to Norway.

01:36How did your Filipino Helping Society start in Norway?

01:40And what was your inspiration for establishing this organization?

01:46Okay, so,

01:47so,

01:50long story, so in 2010,

01:54I passed the board exam, made it to the top.

01:57And then 2012,

01:59I moved to Norway.

02:00And the OPR, if you're not familiar,

02:04this is a cultural exchange program.

02:08So I went to Norway,

02:10and I have a host family of Norwegians.

02:13And there,

02:14I presented the culture of Filipinos to them.

02:18And in return,

02:20I also learned how Norwegians live.

02:24But it wasn't easy,

02:26because my aim was to become a nurse,

02:30or practice my nursing profession here also.

02:34But it's not that easy,

02:36it's not that easy to recognize,

02:39even if you're a top-notcher,

02:40even if your grades are good,

02:44it really starts at the beginning.

02:47So,

02:49that was 2012,

02:51and it was very challenging.

02:53The chemistry of the family wasn't good,

02:59but then, in 2013, in November,

03:03Yolanda, or Hayan,

03:06was struck by the Philippines, our country.

03:09And,

03:10even though my situation was difficult,

03:12because I wasn't practicing nursing,

03:15it was frustrating,

03:18at the same time,

03:20we had a goal,

03:21but we didn't achieve it.

03:23And,

03:25we also had a lot of expectations,

03:27back home.

03:28But,

03:29when I found out what happened to our countrymen,

03:33that's when I started to realize,

03:35yeah,

03:36the things I've been through,

03:38the challenges I've faced,

03:39now,

03:40this is nothing compared to people

03:44who lost their homes,

03:45who lost their loved ones.

03:49So, that's where I started.

03:51Four days after,

03:52in November 8,

03:53in Hayan, or Yolanda,

03:55on November 12,

03:57the so-called

03:59Tapit Kamay-Ibangan na Pilipinas was established.

04:01And then,

04:02gathered help,

04:04even though I didn't have a network here yet,

04:07my main focus was to send help.

04:11Actually,

04:12we were able to gather help,

04:14not only in Norway,

04:16but also in Denmark,

04:17neighboring countries here in Scandinavia.

04:21Also,

04:22in other Asian countries.

04:24And then,

04:25I flew back to the Philippines,

04:27first time.

04:29The same,

04:30before I spent a year here in Norway,

04:34to really personally give the help.

04:37And we were able to help 1,000 families

04:40during that time.

04:41So,

04:42that was just the beginning.

04:45And,

04:46I'll just stop here,

04:47because I can keep talking.

04:49So,

04:51and then,

04:52later on,

04:54on my journey,

04:58I was trying to practice,

05:02so I studied,

05:03until,

05:05the organization,

05:08it was active,

05:09the year after Yolanda,

05:11and then,

05:12there was a slight pause,

05:14because there were a lot of requirements here.

05:17So,

05:19that's where I focused,

05:21and from there,

05:22like a cultural exchange program participant,

05:26I became a student,

05:27because I needed to study first,

05:29to know how to become a nurse here in Norway.

05:32Then,

05:33I got a job,

05:34became a permanent resident,

05:36then became a citizen,

05:38Norwegian citizen.

05:40And there,

05:41along the way,

05:42on that journey,

05:45I saw how difficult it was.

05:48So, I said,

05:50it's not just our fellow Filipinos

05:53who need help,

05:55our fellow Filipinos here in Norway also need it.

05:59Not because you're in another country,

06:02that's okay,

06:03it's already solved.

06:05There are still a lot of trials and tribulations,

06:08and it's more difficult now,

06:09because you have no one with you,

06:10you don't have your family members to support you,

06:14and adjustments to the weather,

06:16adjustments to,

06:18you know,

06:19integrating with the country,

06:21and there are still a lot of trials,

06:25that I've been through and succeeded in.

06:30Looking back,

06:31in 2020,

06:32when the pandemic happened,

06:33I said,

06:34I'm established,

06:35I'm okay,

06:36I'm married,

06:37and I said,

06:38this is really my passion.

06:39So,

06:40I'll go back,

06:41and this time,

06:42it's not just our fellow Filipinos in the Philippines,

06:44but also our fellow Filipinos here,

06:46and other minority groups.

06:49There are a lot of achievements, right?

06:51That's the history.

06:54So, I'll just say,

06:55stop me,

06:56because we can go straight here.

06:57Yes, because,

06:58you know what,

06:59there are so many milestones

07:00that your organization was able to accomplish,

07:03for being called as

07:05Kapit Kamai Ibangon ng Pilipinas,

07:07from Yolanda,

07:08one of the most disastrous happenings

07:10that we have here in the country.

07:12Now,

07:13we want to know,

07:14in so many ways,

07:15to help you,

07:16and the execution of your help,

07:18what is your dream

07:20for FHS,

07:21in the coming years?

07:23How do you see the future of your organization?

07:26And what are the steps that you will do

07:29to achieve these?

07:33My dreams,

07:34actually,

07:35is to be able to sustain ourselves.

07:37Because,

07:38it's like a punch in the stomach,

07:40because you will help your fellow countrymen,

07:42and

07:43we need, of course,

07:44fundings,

07:45and

07:46you know,

07:47by the grace of God,

07:48the government of Norway

07:49is able to see

07:50the efforts,

07:51that's why we will give points,

07:53and we will be able to help a lot here,

07:55because,

07:57there,

07:58of course,

07:59not only Filipinos

08:00are here,

08:01there are also immigrants.

08:02So,

08:03to be able to give enough

08:07attention,

08:08enough support,

08:09that's important.

08:10And,

08:11I don't have a dream

08:13for the organization,

08:14but,

08:15to be able to continue to help.

08:17Because,

08:18as long as there are

08:19our fellow countrymen here,

08:21and other minorities in Norway,

08:24the need continues.

08:25So,

08:26to be able to sustain,

08:27to last,

08:28until it passes,

08:29maybe,

08:30to the next generation.

08:32And,

08:33to spread,

08:34because,

08:35what we have in FHS

08:37is a helping cycle.

08:39So,

08:40we will help you

08:41with what you need,

08:45like the integration,

08:46language,

08:47because it's Norwegian,

08:48right?

08:49And,

08:50in return,

08:51you just give what you have.

08:53Because,

08:54like I said to you,

08:55frustration,

08:56when I went to Norway,

08:58I have skills,

08:59I have what I'm good at,

09:01but,

09:02I was set aside there,

09:03because,

09:04I wasn't approved.

09:05So,

09:06that's what we do.

09:07Whatever you have,

09:08bring it from our country.

09:10Okay,

09:11bring it out,

09:12let's use it,

09:13in our programs here.

09:15And,

09:16so that,

09:17let's say,

09:18we don't neglect you.

09:19And,

09:20in return,

09:21we will give you

09:22a lot of opportunities.

09:23Then,

09:24that's it.

09:25So,

09:26it becomes a cycle.

09:27And,

09:28it reintroduces

09:29help,

09:30benefits,

09:31not just to our volunteers,

09:32but to other people.

09:33So,

09:34that's it.

09:35That's what we do.

09:36We maintain the relationship.

09:39Because,

09:40our motto is,

09:41to help our second home.

09:44This is our second home,

09:45so,

09:46we are family here.

09:48We will help as much as we can,

09:50and,

09:51we will also help others.

09:52So,

09:53that's it.

09:54It's fun, right?

09:55It's like you have a support group,

09:57an instant support group.

09:58Yes,

09:59and the way of teaching is wide.

10:00Yes,

10:01it's wide,

10:02but,

10:03it's also about integration.

10:04Not just to our fellow Filipinos in Norway,

10:05but to our fellow Filipinos here in the Philippines.

10:08For that,

10:09thank you.
