the 1st time reagan told her where he lived until it had absolutely no idea what to expect. she'd never even heard of the barrow islands. i don't fire i don't know if they're fire or part of so i was thinking oh you're. thinking of. all the stuff. but he said this part of denmark and i need to google. denmark. and looking very sparse i love it kind of quiet. and then i go far i learn. denmark at the end and i guess you know mark and i tried to go off there are away from demarco. and even farther away from antonette home city of manila. the capital of the philippines boasts some 13000000 residents barely 20000 live and her new hometown.
7:36 am
the pharaohs comprise 18 islands made of fall cannick rock. some pity 1000 people call this european outpost home. but living on an island surrounded by a unspoiled nature can get lonely at times. especially for the men who far outnumber women on the faroes for years young women have been leaving the pharaohs to study and start a new life abroad the men left behind practice traditional professions and abide by traditional gender roles. at the port of tortious modern johana said sells his catch of the day. his father and grandfather were also fisherman it's tough work for the guys but that's not what fair always women are looking for these days ya pay a toyota get down here high stick or pull you out the times of change well you knew
7:37 am
him but it's not you know when i was young it was totally different but i spend i'm good with spending today young women are mainly looking for excitement in the farrows doesn't have as much to offer them as denmark germany or france for example is strong enough i've got it here. more 10 son andreas is also a fisherman his generation in particular is affected by the shortage of women on the pharaohs andreas is single but many of his friends have partners from southeast asia. to the loss of a mother health often enough these days it's easy to find a beautiful young woman like you sit down on the computer click enter and they're right there on the floor and there's a big difference between welfare always on. with a filipino you go all around in circles loaded she cooks for leaves and does laundry for and loves them. while many fair always women are leaving the islands philippinas are arriving into
7:38 am
taking their place. bang lee thomas among them. she was one of the 1st filipino women to come to the very. first day i was told by a catalogue and. bark and snow. i'm like. so i been seen so much neighbor that time i'd been staying here for just the tribal war. but also for my. for 12 years bang lived her dream life she found love security and started a family. as the mother of 2 daughters she enjoyed her life on the remote pharaohs. but when she discovered her husband was cheating on her on able to accept this she worked up the courage to separate from him since then
7:39 am
why it hasn't been easy to house it is so much memories today again i just stay in the house so i just go for a drive i like driving alone. then i can be my life my locks now. if you were going to be soon. if you really knew not me. you. bang wasn't prepared to give up the life she made for herself on the pharaoh's. for you. but she refused to stay with her husband purely for financial reasons so she's found work to support herself and her children.
7:40 am
by didn't regret anything maybe as some changes i would do it but i don't think that. if i could be then i would. i i don't maybe something you. know i don't regret and it's good that i'm satisfied right now no. bank has only ever return to the philippines wants with her daughters kareena and johana that's because bank considers the pharaoh's to be her home. she supports her parents in the philippines whenever she can. but never for a 2nd did she consider returning there after her separation. i missed my parents but i missed me i thought. i don't miss.
7:41 am
i think i'm here with my children my. my children. by contrast and she knew when to troops and strong wanted nothing more than to leave the parents. like many paralysed women of her generation she headed for denmark as soon as she finished school. after attending university in roskilde she landed a job in copenhagen. it was more exciting than life in the pharaohs. that's why many young fairlie's women never return. though in loon has. out just to save a life here can be very constraining compared to the big cities it's completely different here. i just wanted to get away the leave it all behind me. that was the main reason why i left back there everything was just too small but after
7:42 am
a time i realize that no matter where i go the life here will always be a part of me. and. so when she was $24.00 inches low and decided to return. she was homesick and long to raise a family on the ferry. 3 years ago she and her fair always has been tied to or moved back. not long afterwards their son when he was born. in june is striving to be an independent and emancipated woman in this traditional society. so certainly. in the past it was a huge problem that the women left and didn't come back. back. but i think that things are slowly changing here that someone like me has returned to
7:43 am
the islands in their mid twenty's is actually quite unusual. with a mother. now she's on a mission. into the one aims to become a role model for a new generation of self-confident very always women. that's why she's running for parliament. she aims to make the pharaoh's a place women no longer feel the need to run away from a place with opportunities equal opportunities freedom may have at the leverage that are not obvious at lunch or at. 32 after being away for so long it was really important for me to return to the pharaoh's protonix floating i realized i can make a bigger difference here than i could in copenhagen or elsewhere. i come from here i know the place and i know how things work now i want to use that to change a few things on the islands there we're back with spit on them off.
7:44 am
her goal is to become the 1st woman under the age of $38.00 in the new parliament. she says it's time to do away with old gender roles. today she's taking to the streets of the capital to more shot to get her message out and you know when is the face of a new generation and a new era. you know was that she was was. the remote islands are starting to move with the times. this is a pharaoh pride parade held in torch on. not long ago such an event would have been unheard of here for angelou and the parade is an important sign that mindset search changes. yeah yeah yeah it's a fabulous sign that so many people are here to show we don't want to go back to
7:45 am
the last century we want the fairest to be an even more open and what kind of country and. that's a great feeling it's fantastic yeah. colorful weir and modern. angela once hopes for a more diverse future aren't shared by all ferals people. that antoinette and reagan's house things are more traditional bodog soak up the national holidays just around the corner one onto a gnat's where the traditional dress for the 1st time. seems absolutely beautiful learning that i've always felt that i was women look better than the fairest man but especially the foreign women and seeing my wife wearing a little skull say. i think therefore fell in love or i got what i thought that for
7:46 am
antonette the national dress is more than just a garment. i feel so proud though where. everybody. in the think it's also where you so i think for in there i feel regulates the way. you feel included and this is n.p.r. a very. very important time for me. feeling you belong and are part of society. that was much tougher for the 1st filipinos who came to the pharaohs some 2 decades ago. i think. they are used now we. were not anymore because we are a girl we. are around 200 filipinas now
7:47 am
live on the pharaohs. they form the largest group of newcomers. many have also brought relatives or female friends to the islands. the filipino community here holds regular get togethers which are very important to antoinette. so. sometimes it's lonely not to have i believe you know. although we are included. will feel very. good you feel home to be with some believe you know you hear their thought you knew it is the same for both you miss. those kind of. the 3 nights to have a commune in the. home of her girlfriends how pharaoh his partners. today they've come to meet and to that's new baby girl. i would love for you
7:48 am
because i like the life of. the libyans i really feel safe for her to go out in the night time and i am not sure if she comes back a lot of those guys. are there in the fire island she can go anywhere and. the war is still out even in the night because i know it's very safe here. it's good. to raise if i'm in the. meanwhile bank is raising her children on the pharaoh's without relying on a man's help. she's found work at a facility for children with disabilities today she's training a new colleague. has worked hard to get where she is today. she studied to become a social educator at the university of the parent islands and was the only philippine a student and wrote there. it's very common for foreigners to work in. this
7:49 am
society. but then i get my dream. big dreams that's why i went to school study. after separating from her husband being knows that marrying a fairly is man doesn't necessarily guarantee a secure future. so she's learned to stand on her own 2 feet it helps that she didn't just have friends in the filipino community but also mixed with the locals you can love being integrated if you don't know the language it's a child ends in a good thing for challenge because here i have to use the fairest language also in their id but they are very my colleagues. i think i mean we are just so quick. there's a step. forward i'm proud of where i am now. it's
7:50 am
the evening before the farrelly is national holiday bang has invited her colleagues to dinner they love the filipino dishes she prepares. the brain the food in there is so good and i think it's so many where i think of. i feel like i'm in favor of beads it's good that we are able to make to be more forward thinking before it's so. playing with this but now you could. store hearing fire live on. after 12 years of marriage raising 2 children and separating from her husband bangs creating another life for herself and her many years on the pharaohs have made her into a woman knows exactly what she wants to stay no longer feels she's just another
7:51 am
filipino on the pharaoh's. she's become truly fair always herself. i haven't lived here for. i want to grow old. i was. on the internet and raking are getting ready for the national holiday. a special delicacy is on the menu whale meat. and naturally enough arrows slicing it is a man's job. even after spending 5 years in the pharaohs. that still finds some of the island's traditions hard to stomach. so there could. be hope.
7:52 am
and anton that still isn't entirely sure what they celebrate on the national holiday. they're celebrating. there we think. king will say if you are way and this is that they will they will skip. so you're actually living right so you are celebrating when he was here yes this is that they won the night but he and i in the afterlife. or not serco which means st olaf sway is the most important day of the year in the pharaohs everyone comes out to celebrate this national holiday. it's been a fair always tradition since the 13th century. i.
