FOREWORD
The migration of medical and allied health professionals from the Philippines to the United States of America, and other parts of the globe for that matter, has been impactful among these Filipinos, especially after years of struggle.
The struggle begins with adjustment in a foreign land, particularly within the community where they reside, meeting friends and work colleagues, getting familiar with bus and train schedules, and adjusting to four seasons - a novel experience from the two seasons back home.
In Our Journey…A Sequel to the Story of a Prudent Nurse , Joel J. Clemente narrates what he and his family has been gone through in their new found home from ‘Pinas to ‘Tate.
Their journey may not be at all unique or in any way rare, as other doctors, nurses, midwives, and caregivers may have similar or even tougher challenges. Yet, their narratives provide insights to other Filipinos who are likely to be drawn to life abroad.
Prudence, diligence, and hard work were Clemente and his family’s guiding values as they spend the first years in America. It was a tough life, but the Clementes survived the challenges and beat the odds.

Southern Philippines-based journalist Maria Frencie L. Carreon is the award-winning author of Spaces: Narratives about the Mission of Fr. Angel Calvo, CMF. She has received the Aries Rufo Journalism Fellowship Award and the Australian Leadership Award. She currently heads Maven Media Asia, where she is executive director and lead researcher.

NOTES FROM THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF JOEL J. CLEMENTE
Joel always perseveres in everything be it in his family, career or spiritual life. People find him accomodating and helpful. He cheers the group with his talks and wit. May you always continue to put God first in everything you do. To God be the glory.
-Lilian Lourdes Clemente-Ballelos, RN
You are born with an exceptional gift of writing. Continue with this passion because you are an inspiration to many.
-Marilie Soliven-Nicandro, RN
Jong is a good friend of mine, that even his own family became my friends too. We live a distance thousands of miles away from each other, but he sees to it that we have a bonding time, whenever he comes back to his home country.
-Maripaz Fider, Joel/Jong’s JVP Partner
I’ve known Joel for 36 years and he’s always been friendly, helpful and jovial. He is also a determined individual who will work hard to achieve his aspirations. Lastly, he is the kind of person who wants to share his success and blessings to those he cares for and those in need.
-Aisel Dacara-Adil, RN
It’s a joy to know that Brother Joel is publishing his second book as this is another testament of how he continues to live his life with strong faith to the Lord, filled with gratitude and compassion. I am blessed to call him a brother in Christ through the Couples For Christ community where Brother Joel and his family actively worship and live out their calling to be a blessing in the Child Sponsorship Program of ANCOP (Answering the Cry of the Poor). More power to you Brother Joel.
-Sandee Pujol-Ricamata, Couples For Christ USA
Fellow Brother and Worthy Sir Knight Joel is a good man, and always willing to help in the best way he can. Be it a sausage and cheese sale, pancake breakfast, exemplification program, streetside showers, or as a hospitality team minister, he works his way to serve our council, church and others. His generosity, kindness and goodness bring splash of faith, hope and love to people of all walks of life.
-SK Troy Scheffman, Grand Knight
Knights of Columbus St. Gabriel the Archangel Council 12153
Joel is my favorite brother-in-law, since I have only one sister, and I have always known him to be a man on a mission, a man for others. Perhaps, it was his Jesuit education. That’s why it doesn’t come as a surprise that he would go out of his way to help to those in need as the one plane incident in his first book fittingly describes his altruism.
-Father Cyrain Cabuenas
“Kuya Jong,” as we fondly call him, is an opinionated writer who speaks his mind on a varied field of interests. His versatile talent in writing touches poetry, personal views on social and work issues, newsletters and in almost any genre in which he pours out his heart out. Reading his works, you will laugh and cry; object and emphatize with him; be entertained and moved. All of these compel you to read his book and make it a part of your coffee table collection.
-Father Clyde Cabuenas
