overseas filipino worker?

i salute the overseas workers, especially the Filipino overseas workers....our present day heroes. i have relatives abroad myself, i understand the sacrifices, we being closely-knit families, to leave home for years and not to see loved ones on a day-to-day basis is painful to the heart. but, we have to face realities. the consolation we can give to our families abroad is us to work towards improving our lives. we help each other grow. and never forget to thank them everyday. a little note always pumps their spirits. great days ahead, perry

My husband works abroad. He sacrifices a lot not only for me and our children but also for his extended family. He was still a bachelor when he started working abroad to earn a living. He never stops until now because he wanted to make everything stable first before he retire and works locally.

my aunt husband was in hawaii now working as a seaman.. and i know how hard it is for him because i have experienced working abroad too and its not that easy.. his contract was 2 years but since his boss like him he decided to make the contract 5 years to earn more money... they have son that was on college now... so he have to work hard... its hard for him but he was sacrificing for his family...

I have a brother who is working as a bartender in a cruise line here in the US. I also have some cousins and close friends who are working in Taiwan and Dubai. I know it wasn't easy for them to be away from their families. It was surely a pain in the butt. My brother goes home and visit his family once in a year. Since my parents have only 2 kids (me & my older bro), so they said it feels like that they are also working abroad because we aren't there. There's a lil advantage on my part since my husband is here with me.

yes, i do have a relatives abroad. one of them is the eldest brother of my dad who is in usa. we here are really thankful to him because he was able to help us financially most of the time. he has his own family there but he still managed to visit us here when his schedule is not so hectic. he also does phone calls not only when there's occasion. of course, we misses his presence. i remember those days when he would arrive here in the philippines and have bonding with us, his nieces and nephews, he would treat us out and give some dollars. ^_^ another one is my godfather, my dad's bestfriend who is in canada. despite the distance, we managed to communicate most of the time here in the internet by exchanging e-mails. i always see to it that i get them updated with the happenings here. hmm.. the latest.. my boyfriend is soon to leave the philippines, he'll be working in saudi arabia. it's sad because we'll be far from each other, but we have no choice because it's the only way for him to ear money faster, since he is his family's breadwinner, and he already had have plans for our future. all we do now, is cherish our moments together, and make the best out of the limited time we have.

Know what? Sometimes I feel like I'm the one who's overseas.. Hehehe.. Lemme explain... We are 5 in the family, my mom, my dad, an older sister and a younger brother plus me. Now, my dad is already gone so that leaves four, but all of 'em. My mom, my sis and bro are all in Canada and I'm the only one left here in Pinas, though I have my own family here. Sometimes I feel like I'm the one who left since the three of them are all together abroad. See what I mean now? But you are right, they are there out of their comfort zones. Their friends are here, and other family members (cuz'ns, and that sort) and since all of us grew up here there is a certain form of uprootment (if that's a word) everytime someone leaves their own country, even though the whole family moves. It's hard to be far away from people you love but most people see it as a sacrifice worth it since it's for the family's future
