Every OFWs reason why they decided to work abroad is to give their family a better future. Regardless of the hardships they are about to endure overseas, they made themselves ready for any possibilities.For singles, it will be a lot easier to work abroad, no kids to cry on your departure, no marriage to suffer due to communication  issues.A tragic story happened to Pablito Gragasin, an OFW from Saudi Arabia. He left his family to work overseas with hope to give his family a better future. To earn extra income, his wife accepts borders. That's where the problem started.

Working overseas has its toll. Many Filipinos work abroad for attractive salaries that they believe, would make them able to give their families back home a better future and an adequate living condition. The truth is, money is not everything. You can earn a lot, yes, but how about your relationship with your spouse? Your kids? Your presence means more to your family that the money or things you send. there will be nothing more valuable than the time you spend together as a whole family. Cases of infidelity happen while the other is working abroad, wives having an affair with another man, and vice versa. In some cases, the other parent abuses their children while the other is working overseas. In case that the OFW left their children in the custody of a guardian, abuses also happen to them without the knowledge of the OFW. In Davao City, a total of four incest cases involving children of OFWs now being assisted by Mindanao Migrants Center for Empowering Actions, Inc (MMCEI). Aside from sexual abuses, there are also cases of juvenile delinquency, teenage pregnancy, and rape cases among OFW children in 12 communities in Davao recorded by the agency. Elento also said that there are also children of OFWs who are involved in illegal drug abuse. She pointed out that the primary cause of these abuse among OFW children is the weak relationships between the children and their guardians. Meanwhile, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) said that children of OFWs are more prone to abuses at home. Labor Secretary Silvestre III said, citing a UNICEF report that migration is one the drivers of physical, sexual, or psychological abuse for children. A Unicef’s National Baseline on the Study on Violence Against Children: Philippines, conducted in 2015, and published during the last quarter of 2016, showed that 80% of almost 4,000 child respondents from different barangays said that they had experienced some form of violence in their life. Labor undersecretary Ciriaco Lagunzad III said, that children of the OFWs become a “collateral damage” of migration. To address the issue, DOLE and OWWA together with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOA) yesterday to launch a nationwide anti-child abuse campaign for the children of OFWs. DOJ assistant secretary Aimee Neri said the new initiative will help in the implementation of country’s anti-child abuse laws “We have sufficient laws on child protection…Philippine is among the countries in Asia that has good laws on child protection…it is only a matter of enforcing them,” Neri said. For her part, DSWD Mae Templa urged the government to conduct additional study on the impact of migration for children so they could be provided the needed support. Sources: Manila Bulletin, Sunstar Recommended: Infidelity can be perceived harmless through the eyes of those who commit it but certainly not for the affected ones, especially the children. It affects them more than you think. You do it once and it will haunt your family for generations. There are 7 ways that you are destroying the lives of your kids by committing infidelity: Your infidelite will be emulated by your kids. Your example is their perception of what is fine and what is right. Children with broken families are most likely to commit infidelity in their adulthood. They experienced the worst betrayal any human can experience. You cheat your spouse, you cheat your entire household. You inflicted your little children with the worst uncertainty. If you failed their mother/father, what else can stop you from failing them? They started to panic with the thought that they will be abandoned. It will greatly affect their future. s they grow up, they tend to push away anyone who shows affection in fear that they will lose them anyway. You push them to distrust anyone. According to Huffington post, 75% of children with either parents cheated are having abnormal issues on distrusting others. They will not believe in love anymore. You are pushing your children to choose sides. So, if you have a family, you better think millions of times before having an affair. You might be comparing a moment of wrong blissful adventure to the unconditional love that nobody can give, only your spouse and your children.

In our houses, for example, sometimes we find ourselves in the middle of so much stuff without knowing exactly why we have clutter in the first place? Are we buying too much stuff or we are lacking of enough storage room to keep all of them? Or maybe it tells something interesting about our state of mind? Noah Mankowski, a Clinical psychologist and an expert in hoarding, says that while there isn’t any solid scientific evidence to prove that the actual site of clutter is significant, there could be some truth to it. “That theory is based on a Freudian idea that everything happens for a reason – that there are no mistakes,” says Ben Buchanan, clinical psychologist from Foundation Psychology Victoria. “Freudians would say that everything’s got meaning, everything’s got a symbol …They would say that there’s a deep unconscious motivation, usually rooted in childhood, for not being able to let go of something. And there’s some truth in that, but I think people take it a bit far.” Bridget Fitzgerald, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, points out that a house that is too-clean could also mean something. Whichever school of thought you want to follow, there is no harm in asking yourself what are the clutters in your house may want to tell you.

Why OFWs Remain in Neck-deep Debts After Years Of Working Abroad? From beginning to the end, the real life of OFWs are colorful indeed. To work outside the country, they invest too much, spend a lot. They start making loans for the processing of their needed documents to work abroad. From application until they can actually leave the country, they spend big sum of money for it. But after they were being able to finally work abroad, the story did not just end there. More often than not, the big sum of cash they used to pay the recruitment agency fees cause them to suffer from indebtedness. They were being charged and burdened with too much fees, which are not even compliant with the law. Because of their eagerness to work overseas, they immerse themselves to high interest loans for the sake of working abroad. The recruitment agencies play a big role why the OFWs are suffering from neck-deep debts. Even some licensed agencies, they freely exploit the vulnerability of the OFWs. Due to their greed to collect more cash from every OFWs that they deploy, it results to making the life of OFWs more miserable by burying them in debts. The result of high fees collected by the agencies can even last even the OFWs have been deployed abroad. Some employers deduct it to their salaries for a number of months, leaving the OFWs broke when their much awaited salary comes. But it doesn't end there. Some of these agencies conspire with their counterpart agencies to urge the foreign employers to cut the salary of the poor OFWs in their favor. That is of course, beyond the expectation of the OFWs. Even before they leave, the promised salary is already computed and allocated. They have already planned how much they are going to send to their family back home. If the employer would cut the amount of the salary they are expecting to receive, the planned remittance will surely suffer, it includes the loans that they promised to be paid immediately on time when they finally work abroad. There is such a situation that their family in the Philippines carry the burden of paying for these loans made by the OFW. For example. An OFW father that has found a mistress, which is a fellow OFW, who turned his back to his family and to his obligations to pay his loans made for the recruitment fees. The result, the poor family back home, aside from not receiving any remittance, they will be the ones who are obliged to pay the loans made by the OFW, adding weight to the emotional burden they already had aside from their daily needs.

Do You Need Money For Tuition Fee For The Next School Year? You Need To Watch This Do you need money for your tuition fee to be able to study this coming school year? The Philippine government might be able to help you. All you need to do is to follow these steps: -Inquire at the state college or university where you want to study. -Bring Identification forms. If your family is a 4Ps subsidiary, prepare and bring your 4Ps identification card. For families who are not a member of 4Ps, bring your family's proof of income. -Bring the registration form from your state college or university where you want to study. Nicholas Tenazas, Deputy executive Director of CHED-UniFAST said that in the program, the state colleges and universities will not collect any tuition fee from the students. The Government will shoulder their tuition fees. CHED-UniFAST or the Unified Student Financial Assistance For Tertiary Education otherwise known as the Republic Act 10687 which aims to provide quality education to the Filipinos. What are the qualifications for availing of the modalities of UniFAST? The applicant for any of the modalities under the UniFAST must meet the following minimum qualifications: (a) must be a Filipino citizen, but the Board may grant exemptions to foreign students based on reciprocal programs that provide similar benefits to Filipino students, such as student exchange programs, international reciprocal Scholarships, and other mutually beneficial programs; (b) must be a high school graduate or its equivalent from duly authorized institutions; (c) must possess good moral character with no criminal record, but this requirement shall be waived for programs which target children in conflict with the law and those who are undergoing or have undergone rehabilitation; (d) must be admitted to the higher education institution (HEI) or TVI included in the Registry of Programs and Institutions of the applicant’s choice, provided that the applicant shall be allowed to begin processing the application within a reasonable time frame set by the Board to give the applicant sufficient time to enroll; (e) in the case of technical-vocational education and training or TVET programs, must have passed the TESDA screening/assessment procedure, trade test, or skills competency evaluation; and (f) in the case of scholarship, the applicant must obtain at least the score required by the Board for the Qualifying Examination System for Scoring Students and must possess such other qualifications as may be prescribed by the Board. The applicant has to declare also if he or she is already a beneficiary of any other student financial assistance, including government StuFAP. However, if at the time of application of the scholarship, grant-in-aid, student loan, or other modalities of StuFAP under this Act, the amount of such other existing grant does not cover the full cost of tertiary education at the HEI or TVI where the applicant has enrolled in, the applicant may still avail of the StuFAPs under this Act for the remaining portion.

Many Filipinos work abroad for attractive salaries that they believe, would make them able to give their families back home a better future and an adequate living condition. The truth is, money is not everything. You can earn a lot, yes, but how about your relationship with your spouse? Your kids? Your presence means more to your family that the money or things you send. there will be nothing more valuable than the time you spend together as a whole family. Cases of infidelity happen while the other is working abroad, wives having an affair with another man, and vice versa. In some cases, the other parent abuses their children while the other is working overseas. In case that the OFW left their children in the custody of a guardian, abuses also happen to them without the knowledge of the OFW. In Davao City, a total of four incest cases involving children of OFWs now being assisted by Mindanao Migrants Center for Empowering Actions, Inc (MMCEI). Aside from sexual abuses, there are also cases of juvenile delinquency, teenage pregnancy, and rape cases among OFW children in 12 communities in Davao recorded by the agency. Elento also said that there are also children of OFWs who are involved in illegal drug abuse. She pointed out that the primary cause of these abuse among OFW children is the weak relationships between the children and their guardians. Meanwhile, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) said that children of OFWs are more prone to abuses at home. Labor Secretary Silvestre III said, citing a UNICEF report that migration is one the drivers of physical, sexual, or psychological abuse for children. A Unicef’s National Baseline on the Study on Violence Against Children: Philippines, conducted in 2015, and published during the last quarter of 2016, showed that 80% of almost 4,000 child respondents from different barangays said that they had experienced some form of violence in their life. Labor undersecretary Ciriaco Lagunzad III said, that children of the OFWs become a “collateral damage” of migration. To address the issue, DOLE and OWWA together with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOA) yesterday to launch a nationwide anti-child abuse campaign for the children of OFWs. DOJ assistant secretary Aimee Neri said the new initiative will help in the implementation of country’s anti-child abuse laws “We have sufficient laws on child protection…Philippine is among the countries in Asia that has good laws on child protection…it is only a matter of enforcing them,” Neri said. For her part, DSWD Mae Templa urged the government to conduct additional study on the impact of migration for children so they could be provided the needed support. Sources: Manila Bulletin, Sunstar Recommended: Infidelity can be perceived harmless through the eyes of those who commit it but certainly not for the affected ones, especially the children. It affects them more than you think. You do it once and it will haunt your family for generations. There are 7 ways that you are destroying the lives of your kids by committing infidelity: Your infidelite will be emulated by your kids. Your example is their perception of what is fine and what is right. Children with broken families are most likely to commit infidelity in their adulthood. They experienced the worst betrayal any human can experience. You cheat your spouse, you cheat your entire household. You inflicted your little children with the worst uncertainty. If you failed their mother/father, what else can stop you from failing them? They started to panic with the thought that they will be abandoned. It will greatly affect their future. s they grow up, they tend to push away anyone who shows affection in fear that they will lose them anyway. You push them to distrust anyone. According to Huffington post, 75% of children with either parents cheated are having abnormal issues on distrusting others. They will not believe in love anymore. You are pushing your children to choose sides. So, if you have a family, you better think millions of times before having an affair. You might be comparing a moment of wrong blissful adventure to the unconditional love that nobody can give, only your spouse and your children. Recommended: PSYCHOLOGY:WHAT THOSE HOUSE CLUTTERS TELL ABOUT YOU? We seem to be surrounded by lots of things. Clutters are everywhere and it's everyone's choice whether to de-clutter or not. In our houses, for example, sometimes we find ourselves in the middle of so much stuff without knowing exactly why we have clutter in the first place? Are we buying too much stuff or we are lacking of enough storage room to keep all of them? Or maybe it tells something interesting about our state of mind? Noah Mankowski, a Clinical psychologist and an expert in hoarding, says that while there isn’t any solid scientific evidence to prove that the actual site of clutter is significant, there could be some truth to it. “That theory is based on a Freudian idea that everything happens for a reason – that there are no mistakes,” says Ben Buchanan, clinical psychologist from Foundation Psychology Victoria. “Freudians would say that everything’s got meaning, everything’s got a symbol …They would say that there’s a deep unconscious motivation, usually rooted in childhood, for not being able to let go of something. And there’s some truth in that, but I think people take it a bit far.” Bridget Fitzgerald, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, points out that a house that is too-clean could also mean something. Whichever school of thought you want to follow, there is no harm in asking yourself what are the clutters in your house may want to tell you.

Why OFWs Remain in Neck-deep Debts After Years Of Working Abroad? From beginning to the end, the real life of OFWs are colorful indeed. To work outside the country, they invest too much, spend a lot. They start making loans for the processing of their needed documents to work abroad. From application until they can actually leave the country, they spend big sum of money for it. But after they were being able to finally work abroad, the story did not just end there. More often than not, the big sum of cash they used to pay the recruitment agency fees cause them to suffer from indebtedness. They were being charged and burdened with too much fees, which are not even compliant with the law. Because of their eagerness to work overseas, they immerse themselves to high interest loans for the sake of working abroad. The recruitment agencies play a big role why the OFWs are suffering from neck-deep debts. Even some licensed agencies, they freely exploit the vulnerability of the OFWs. Due to their greed to collect more cash from every OFWs that they deploy, it results to making the life of OFWs more miserable by burying them in debts. The result of high fees collected by the agencies can even last even the OFWs have been deployed abroad. Some employers deduct it to their salaries for a number of months, leaving the OFWs broke when their much awaited salary comes. But it doesn't end there. Some of these agencies conspire with their counterpart agencies to urge the foreign employers to cut the salary of the poor OFWs in their favor. That is of course, beyond the expectation of the OFWs. Even before they leave, the promised salary is already computed and allocated. They have already planned how much they are going to send to their family back home. If the employer would cut the amount of the salary they are expecting to receive, the planned remittance will surely suffer, it includes the loans that they promised to be paid immediately on time when they finally work abroad. There is such a situation that their family in the Philippines carry the burden of paying for these loans made by the OFW. For example. An OFW father that has found a mistress, which is a fellow OFW, who turned his back to his family and to his obligations to pay his loans made for the recruitment fees. The result, the poor family back home, aside from not receiving any remittance, they will be the ones who are obliged to pay the loans made by the OFW, adding weight to the emotional burden they already had aside from their daily needs.

Duterte emphasized the need for faster communications in the country. Pres. Duterte earlier said he would like the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) "to develop a national broadband plan to accelerate the deployment of fiber optics cables and wireless technologies to improve internet speed." As a response to the President's SONA statement, Salalima presented the DICT's national broadband plan that aims to push for free WiFi access to more areas in the countryside. The broadband program has been in the work since former President Gloria Arroyo but due to allegations of corruption and illegality, Mrs. Arroyo cancelled the US$329 million National Broadband Network (NBN) deal with China's ZTE Corp.just 6 months after she signed it in April 2007. Fast internet connection benefits not only those who are on internet business and online business but even our over 10 million OFWs around the world and their families in the Philippines. When the era of snail mails, voice tapes and telegram and the internet age started, communications with their loved one back home can be much easier.

Working overseas has its toll. Many Filipinos work abroad for attractive salaries that they believe, would make them able to give their families back home a better future and an adequate living condition. The truth is, money is not everything. You can earn a lot, yes, but how about your relationship with your spouse? Your kids? Your presence means more to your family that the money or things you send. there will be nothing more valuable than the time you spend together as a whole family.Cases of infidelity happen while the other is working abroad, wives having an affair with another man, and vice versa. In some cases, the other parent abuses their children while the other is working overseas. In case that the OFW left their children in the custody of a guardian, abuses also happen to them without the knowledge of the OFW.
