MANILA - For years, Myra Bendana worked as a house helper, before becoming a janitress, waitress, bartender and entertainer in Japan.
Thanks to her hard work, she started her own salon business and is now a professional make-up artist.
In an interview on "My Puhunan," Bendaa narrated how she started out as being a house helper when she left Bicol to start anew in Manila.
"Nung gumradweyt ako ng high school, alam ko na hindi na talaga ako makakapag-college... Kasi sabi ng Tatay ko, 'okay babae ka, mag-aasawa ka lang'," she said, recalling what urged her to leave her hometown.
Bendaa said she was excited to go to Manila. For four years, she moved from one employer to another as a house helper.
She also became a janitress, waitress, bartender, and eventually flew to Japan to look for a better job.
One day, however, she decided to go back to school, in search for a new direction in life.
"Hanggang one day, nung naka-ipon ako, gusto ko talagang mag-aral... Kasi wala akong makukuhang matinong trabaho na maayos kung hindi ako nakapag-aral kasi high school graduate lang," she said.
After earning enough, she took the chance to open her own salon.
Although barely knowing anything about opening a business, she read up on different materials and opened the salon after just two weeks.

New Delhi: US taxi-hailing app maker Uber Technologies Inc has restarted services in Delhi after a ban following rape allegations against one of its drivers, but a government official said the company remains blacklisted.
The US-based lawyer hired by the financial executive who was raped in December said Uber had emailed her to inform her it "has re-entered the market in Delhi."
The lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, said that, "We had made it clear to Uber that the rape victim wanted to be part of a consultation process regarding safety procedures to ensure that no other person becomes a victim at the hands of an Uber driver."
Uber's app showed taxis available in New Delhi on Friday. The company has applied for a radio taxi license, a spokesman said to Reuters.
"They can't start operations," said a senior transport official, who was not authorised to speak with the media on the matter and so declined to be identified. "They don't have a license yet, they have only applied for it."
"We are setting an even higher standard than current industry requirements," Uber said in a statement.
After a financial executive said she was raped by a driver last month, Delhi's government banned Uber and other taxi-hailing app providers from operating in the city. Uber later said it did not carry out background checks on drivers in India, and authorities revealed the suspect was on bail for sexual assault
The driver, Shiv Kumar Yadav , is being tried in a fast-track court on the capital.
Mr Wigdor was hired by the survivor earlier this month. Mr Wigdor was the lawyer for Nafissatou Diallo, the New York hotel maid, who accused Dominique Strass-Kahn of assaulting her in a hotel in 2011; he was chief of the International Monetary Fund at the time. The case was reportedly settled for six million dollars.

Uber Emails Rape Survivor to Say It's Back in Delhi
CALDWELL Installing solar panels at the Caldwell Wastewater Treatment Plant is becoming a likely option after the governing body received a proposal from PSE&G to complete the project.
Presidentof the Caldwell Environmental Commission Ann Marchioni, presented the idea of installing solar panels at the plant to the council in 2013 and the governing body has been working to make the idea a reality since, according to Marchioni.
The proposal from PSE&G, which was discussed during the Tuesday, Jan. 20 council meeting, outlines the borough would receive four and one-half cents per kilowatt, which is the equivalent of $9,470 per year, according to Borough Administrator Paul Carelli.
Councilman Kris Brown, who formerly served on the Environmental Commission and now serves as the liaison, noted that the payment to Caldwell from PSE&G would increase 2.5 percent annually.
The proposal is for the period of 20 years, according to Marchioni.
PSE&G would install, run and maintain to the solar panels, as well as reach out to West Caldwell for its approval before moving forward.
Although Caldwell owns the Wastewater Treatment Plant, it is located on Pine Tree Place in West Caldwell and would need that towns approval.
Councilman John Cascarano said the situation seems like a win-win, but questioned if there were any comparable situations.
Borough Attorney Greg Mascera said this was the only proposal that they received and he was not familiar with similar situations.
Marchioni stated that Caldwell was getting a really good deal through this proposal.

Working outdoors: Landscape architect Katherine Simmons enjoys the community perspective that drives local government.
Design of open space around buildings and infrastructure should not be an afterthought it should be considered at the start of projects, the principal landscape architect at Wyong Shire Council, Katherine Simmons, says.
"Landscape architects should be involved right from the site planning and analysis stage of a projectso there is a good balance of professionals involved in urban design," she says.
Simmons and her team at Wyong take a systematic approach to the development and integration of open space in the New South Wales central coast municipality and it has brought them national recognition.
A redesign of land at Blue Haven to form the multi-use Bamayi Reserve won a State Play Space award of excellence and a new park at Canton Beach, which is designed for use by children of all abilities, won a Playspace award in the 2014 Parks and Leisure Australia awards.

Simmons, who studied landscape architecture at the University of New South Wales, says people in her profession are involved in the design of anything other than buildings. This can include urban and public space, areas around commercial buildings and along freeways and foreshore reserves.
She chose her degree in a quest for a profession that would allow her to pursue interests in art, design, science and the natural environment.
After working in consultancy in Australia and Britain, she worked for Newcastle and Lake Macquarie councils, discovering she enjoys the community perspective that drives local government.
When she joined the staff at Wyong eight years ago, she began work on an assessment of parks, playgrounds and open space in the area.

Fashion designer Sarah-Jane Clarke and her landscape architect husband Dan Baffsky are kicking off what is widely anticipated to be a busy start to the year with the sale of their Vaucluse home.
Clarke, who with Heidi Middleton left the Sass & bide brand they co-founded last July, is hoping to trade up closer to the waterfront once she sells the 718-square-metre property.
An early-stage price guide of more than $6 million has been offered by Elliott Placks and Ashley Bierman, of Ray White Double Bay, ahead of the February 26 auction.
Sarah-Jane Clarke.
Formerly a duplex, it last traded a decade ago for $3.5 million but has been transformed since then into a five-bedroom sanctuary with a spacious parents' retreat, swimming pool and level lawn that manages both privacy and panoramic views to the city with all the style you'd expect from the creative couple.

At least one member of the original committee that helped create the Moore County Veterans Memorial in Carthage thinks it is time to renew efforts to transform that area into a park.
Controversy erupted in the spring of 2012 when county officials disclosed that they had been approached by a company wanting to buy land next to the memorial for a Bojangles restaurant. Local veterans and veterans groups demanded that the county preserve land around the memorial and prevent development near it.
That summer, the county commissioners appointed the Veterans Memorial Advisory Committee to discuss the memorials future and how best to use the land around the site.
Meetings often resulted in clashes between county officials and veterans, ultimately leading to a stalemate over two competing plans to create a veterans park. That was in March 2013. The committee has not met since.
Last Tuesday, county commissioners dissolved the group. Board Chairman Nick Picerno, who proposed the action, said the county has no plans to do anything with that property. He called the committee an overreaction to a non-issue.
Rudy Hendrick, who served on the advisory committee and is secretary of the committee that led efforts to build the memorial in 2006, agreed that the advisory committee should be eliminated and that it was probably ill-fated from the start.
To me, it was a frustrating thing from the get-go, Hendrick said. I am not sure it was handled right. It was at a standstill. Daggers were being thrown in both directions.
But Hendrick said it is in the official minutes of a county commissioners meeting that nothing would be done until both sides are satisfied.
I am not going to be satisfied until it is developed into a park, she said.
Hendrick said supporters gathered signatures on petitions in support of developing the entire property into a veterans park. She said they have garnered about 6,000 signatures so far.

SCOTTS HILL | The Pender County Commissioners didn't take a formal vote after his polished presentation, they didn't feel the need but Eagle Scout Samuel Brohaugh, Troop 234 in Scotts Hill, left this week's board meeting with the go-ahead to build a roughly 10 foot by 10 foot roofed gazebo on a concrete pad behind the new county government annex in Hampstead.
For the basic open-sided structure, Brohaugh will have to raise about $1,400 (the concrete pad has already been donated by Jeff Neeley from Freeman Curb and Gutter). If he can raise more, he would like to add porch swings on three sides and landscape the area
"I think your fundraising efforts will surprise you," Commissioners Chairman David Williams said. "A lot of people love that building."
