I want this to be a healthy debate. Sasagot ako at sana kayo din po ay magshare ng mga saloobin and opinions niyo sa pamamagitan ng pagcocomment. I want your ideas and inputs. Engaging minds daw tawag dito.
This thoughts, I've been thinking many days ago. Now lang ako nagkaroon ng pagkakataon para mapost ito. I've have read the following comments ng aking kaibigan na si Nebz sa blog ni The Pope.
"This post actually got me thinking hard.
Pangarap na nga ba talaga ng lahat ng Pilipino ang maging OFW?
Nagsisikap nga ba ang mga kabataan na makatapos sa pag-aaral upang 'makapag-abroad'?
Pangarap nga ba talaga nati'y gawing OFW ang bawat miyembro ng ating pamilya?
I actually didn't realize this until I read your post. Kahit dun sa PEBA entry ko, hindi ko napansin na lahat ng mga kabataan sa kwento ko ay nangangarap mag-abroad pagkatapos mag-aral.
This for me is scary."

Kahit dito sa Saudi I’m proud of our Filipino nurses.
It bothers me though that while reading your piece, parang I’m developing this thesis that being OFW is now a ‘dream’ rather than an ‘excuse’ to alleviate us from poverty. Hmmmm….
Here’s a penny for your thoughts: Should Filipinos dream of becoming OFW’s?
I like your entry and I especially liked this passage: "I am proud to be one of these so called “heroes” but ironically, I don’t want to be that hero for long. I am looking forward of that day that I no longer have to work overseas. Presently, I am struggling so hard to attain my goal of becoming the hero of my own children and my children’s children."
That for me should be the goal of all OFWs. To finally be a hero at home with the family.
Congratulations. You'll be in my top 10 for sure.

Thought-provoking post and a topic that still feels relevant today. I was taking a short break from looking into british dissertation help when I found this, and it really raises an important question about whether working abroad should be a dream or simply a necessity for many families.
ReplyDeleteThe decision to work overseas can involve important considerations, including career opportunities, family responsibilities, financial goals, and the challenges of living far from home. Overseas Filipino workers contribute to many industries and support families through their work, but migration can also bring emotional and practical difficulties. Each person's circumstances are different, so thoughtful planning and access to reliable information are important when weighing the options. Personal goals and lifestyle preferences also shape the choices people make.
