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..

Unfortunately this year it falls on a Thursday and it only means that while almost all people around the world are celebrating CHRISTMAS we the “Middle Easterners” are in the office working and contemplating at the same time. Maybe I can treat myself with a piece of shawarma after office and walk along the corniche (Bay area) and probably order “milked tea” while trying to enjoy the cold breeze.

OFW Success Story (Eden Zaniega de Castro-Villa)

By
Eden Zaniega de Castro-Villa, who had worked in Hongkong as a household service worker (HSW) to earn dollars for her family in La Union, is now generating much bigger income from her handicraft business, which was expanded with the financial assistance from the Overseas Workers Welfare Association (OWWA). “After working overseas, I decided to go home and open a small school and office supplies and craft store ,” shared Eden, who also at the same time was engaged in silk farming. Source: Official Website of the Department of Labor and Employment For OFWs, this is the kind of story that keeps us motivated to dream. The story of Eden Zaniega re-invigorates my enthusiasm to go on. It gives me hope that someday I too can succeed on my future plans after retiring as an OFW (Overworked Filipino Worker) Oops! I mean Overseas Filipino Worker (smile). Being away from home just to provide for the family is not the life I have imagined of having when I got married. I wanted a simple yet comfo...
