Mga Bagong Bayani (OFW) Ipagbunyi inyong Kadakilaan


Sa bawat daan na iyong tinahak
Sa mga luha sa mata mo pumatak
Sa katawan mong pagod at batak
Sa pamilya mong muntik mawasak

Sa bawat mga araw na lumilipas
Sa yugto ng buhay mong nalalagas
Sa damdamin mong nagagasgas
Sa mga nagdaraang mga oras

Saan ka kaya patutungo?
Sino kaya ang sa luha magpapatuyo?
May hahagod kaya sa katawang hapo?
Manitili kayang pamilya mo ay buo?

Araw na lumipas maibabalik ba?
Makikita ba mga sandaling nawala?
Kaya pa ba sa bigat ng iyong dala?
Oras na nagdaan mapapalitan ba?

Mga Bagong Bayani....Ipagbunyi inyong kadakilaan..

Are OFW's Rich?

"Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are not rich. We have this notion that when someone is an OFW or based abroad, he or she is loaded. Not true. An OFW might earn from P50K-P300K a month, depending on the location. Those in Saudi Arabia or the United States might earn in the high range. But to say that they're 'rich' is a fallacy (amen!). There's no place like home - Living Abroad : For some OFW's the notion maybe true but for most it's a fallacy like what the author of the article where I got the excerpt said. I have seen the plight of some unfortunate Filipinos working here in Qatar and even heard of some earning as low as QR 700.00 that is roughly Php 8,360.00. Imagine the hardships and the sacrifices it takes just to earn that meagre amount so they can send money home. I just can't imagine how they are surviving with that salary as the cost of living here is relatively higher compared to Saudi Arabia. My food allowance here ranges from QR 5
