We all know that OFW’s are exerting much effort, time,
and patience to earn money from abroad. Those hard earned money are often used
to buy gifts and wants of our love ones who are left at home. Too often, the
money is used to bought branded clothes, shoes, cellphones, computers,
electronics, and others. They think that things are used to replace the love
and caring that they have missed for years of stay in other country. But how
long is this practices continue, does those gifts and gadgets given could
replace their longing for your presence?
By the time their contract ends, they will found out that
they have little savings so were forced to go back and stay abroad to earn more.
But there are other way which is better. Take the story
of Josie Cabanayan.
Josie left her seven year old son, Jonathan, work
overseas as a nanny for more than twenty years. While she practically raised
her employer’s children, she only got to see her own son every two years.
