The life of an OFW is difficult to be separated from the family for a long time to give a little comfort to the family left behind in the Philippines. In today's hard life you still have to venture abroad to meet the needs of the family. It is easy to say but the process and organizing the paperwork takes a long time. If you look at it, you will still be fooled by the agency you applied for. Many of us are mortgaging land or houses or borrowing from relatives for a placement fee. But that does not mean that you are in another country and that life is pure. There are cases of low wages or other employment in the signed contract here in the Philippines. There is also the problem of accommodation, the problem of the fierce boss, OTY (thank you OT) and long working hours without restday. Inevitable cases of rape, pregnancy and beatings and whatnot. Sometimes due to the recession, some of our compatriots are delayed in wages, credit card debt and personal loans and sometimes they are imprisoned due to bouncing checks. Many were hit by the crisis and returned home. One of the biggest opponents of an OFW is the longing for a wife and family. Because overseas calls are expensive. It's good now and there is Yahoo mail, Skype, Facebook, viber, face time and what other ways to easily communicate with the family. Did you also experience at dawn when you saw a miscol from the Philippines? Of course you are nervous because someone may have died or had an accident in the family. By the way, you are just following up on your monthly allowance because the fees are over and piled up. You also can't say that sometimes the salary is delayed. So you will be forced to make a cash advance on the credit card. When it comes to important occasions like Christmas, baptism, weddings, festivals, family reunions, wedding anniversaries, fathers day, mothers day, valentines day you are gone. You will not taste delicious food like crispy lechon skin. Just look at Facebook after uploading. They were all smiling. The fun they have. They don't seem to miss you. And you notice you are the only one missing. Even if you want to go home for a while, it is not possible because it is not yet time to take a vacation. Life OFW again. I sometimes feel like I'm not advancing because my salary is just right for family expenses. It's like not going abroad. I will not allow it while I am abroad so I decided to add other income and Looking for another opportunity. 🌺
