I am making this thread called "advise corner" for us to share thought and give advise according to each person's thinking/ideas. As I believe is a good place to seek advise and give individuals opinion on the matter. I may start with this. How would you deal a family wherein your parents are far from each other? The other is in abroad and one stays here? This is a very difficult situation since life has no more direction.

The OFW situation is a tragedy that is not unique to the Philippines, yet impacts many within the Philippines.

One family member makes an amazing sacrifice for the love of that family, yet it can be unappreciated. This lack of appreciation is the tragedy I refer to above. So do not let it happen in your family. Turn your direction towards appreciation of that sacrifice. Make the absent person your direction and keep their memory alive. Understand what drove them to travel hundreds, more likely thousands of miles, away from the ones they love. Use modern communication, text messages, chat, email, Facebook, etc. to keep that person participating in the family even though from a great distance.

The OFW are the unsung heroes of the Philippines. You have a direction - embrace it and make it your duty that the absent OFW in your family still feel part of the family.

I agree Chas. Too often the OFW is not treated very well by the employer.They frequently find that there is a big difference in the pay they were promised and the amount they receive.They can be separated from their families for years while they work like slaves. I often think of the lack of respect offered to workers who are trying very hard to do the right thing and I feel very sad and sometimes angry that some people would take advantage like that.

yes Sir Chas and Sir Smiley is right, some of employer discriminates OFW. Even a little time for your love ones you can make an effort to contact them, now the technology is high tech and easy to communicate with them. a little effort makes them feel love by doing this.

Nothing I can't tell about this coz chas, smiley and cheryz are right.
