Tearfully Madonna Decena explained that she had to leave her two children behind with their grandparents, until she had raised enough money to send for them. Her rendition of I Will Always Love You made sure there was not a dry eye in the house.

She personifies a lot of Filipinos who goes beyond to uproot their lives from a country that can not promise a good life. She is a mass communication degree holder but went to London as a bar singer. She’s got a lot of sympathy from the Londoners.

Madonna Decena’s performance just captured the heartache and love of Filipinos who have to leave their family so that they can provide a better life.
