Turning Rest Days Into Something Magical
A short video filmed in a sunny park in Singapore has captured strong attention online. In the clip, several women wear bright pink ball gowns that look like Disney princess dresses. They are strolling gracefully in a row of high palm trees and smiling at the camera. The screen is written as, “Di lahat ng Disney Princess nasa palasyo, ang iba OFW ng Singapore.”
In English, this refers to the fact that not every Disney princess is in the palace; some of them are overseas Filipino workers in Singapore. The text is straightforward and strong. It shows that many Filipina OFWs continue to hold onto their dreams even while working far from home.
The message also struck a chord online for its warmth and simplicity, offering a glimpse into how migrant workers make the most of their precious rest days.
A Community Effort, Not a One-Off Moment
From posts shared by the original uploader, @snow_belle82, the gathering was not spontaneous. It was part of a community initiative known as Singapore Circle of Friends (SCoF) — a group that regularly brings Filipinas together to celebrate occasions, organise meet-ups, and spend weekends doing something joyful.
One of the princess-themed gatherings was mentioned to have taken place at Kallang Park, with similar events appearing across the account’s other videos.
The clips show women laughing, posing for photos, and confidently walking through public spaces in coordinated outfits.
In a comment, @snow_belle82 also shared that her dress was purchased from Taobao, reinforcing that the focus was never luxury — just fun, creativity, and togetherness.
Life as an OFW
A large proportion of Filipinas go to Singapore to be domestic workers and caregivers as well as service personnel. They leave their their families in order to make money and educate their children. Life as an OFW is not easy. They work long hours and follow strict daily routines.
Even so, they still make time to relax during their rest days. In the viral Disney princess video, the women choose to dress up and create happy memories together.
Warm Online Reaction and Pride
The video became popular because it blends fantasy with real life. Disney princess stories often show royal comfort, while OFWs work hard every day to support their families. The stark contrast gives the story real depth. When people see the headline and the bright, colorful gowns, their curiosity is instantly piqued—they want to know who these women are and why they’re dressed like princesses.
In a simple park, on an ordinary rest day, they created something memorable. Not every princess lives in a palace — some spend their Sundays celebrating friendship, resilience, and life in Singapore.
