Many have said that the life of a Filipino OFW is very hard. It is true indeed, And I came to realize that today. Althought my problem is just a minor against many fellow OFWs who suffer from physical pain, abuse, rape and extreme depression. My issues are just a tiny drop of water compared to their ocean of misfortunes, whom many are still suffering as of the moment.
The reason I wrote this blog is for me to realize that Life here abroad is really difficult. Why is it difficult?
1) If you run out of money (Simple) you cannot turn to anybody to borrow because it might turn it against you. Even to your fellow Filipino they might turn away from you.
2) No relative to turn to if problem arises. Some are lucky to have their parents, siblings around but for those who do not have. Where they can run?
3) Abuse, If they were abuse relative issues like Rape, Physical Abuse, Moral Abuse, Verbal Abuse!
4) Families having problems back home. And upon hearing the bad news they cannot do anything to alleviate their families suffering.
These are just the few hardships that our OFWs are suffering. And yet they still endure all of this because of their love for their families back home.
I hope that our country should really think more about them.
So the sulution? BE STRONG! BE independent! Have Faith! Be Opptimistic all the Time!
