The Philippines, despite being such
a small country, possesses a large population. There are food shortage,
unemployment, crimes, lack of money and the most terrible of all, war. In a crisis like this, others decided to just
go abroad and work there. Going to a foreign land, serve foreign people and
being apart from your loved ones, is what these people sacrificed just to build
a better life for the family, and also the country. They wanted their children
to have a normal life, their feelings and presence at stake.
Many children of these OFW’s or
Overseas Filipino Workers live their lives almost not seeing their parents
resulting to lack of closure and bonding. Children being aloof from their
parents is not a healthy lifestyle to keep. With this, the parents suffer more
pain. There they are on a different land working until their bones break just
to supply their family food on the dining table, and when they come home, they’ll
find their children not knowing even their existence. The situation is too
pitiful to see.
The family bond that was gradually
strengthened between the Filipinos is now slowly disintegrating. This problem,
if continued, will break the nation. Shouldn’t the government take charge of
this? Low employment and salary. Dishonest politicians. Poor business management.
Due to these reasons, Filipinos won’t think twice in accepting a bigger offer
abroad. No one will ever progress in this country if the very people working
for the nation are not really effective to seat on their spot as of now.
The government should be reformed or
rehabilitated to make the Philippines are better place to live in. People
should have enough food to eat, clothes to wear, shelter to live in, nice job
to attend to, and sufficient money to achieve all these.
I strongly believe that Filipinos
should stay in this tainted country and try to be happy and safe with their
family. But if this would be the only option, then at least all should work
hard to relive the name of the land that fought for its independence for years
and to be able to express dearly that we, Filipinos, are proud to be the people
of this country.
Everyone is encouraged to fight for
what is right and what is good. With this, every problem inside this damaged
land be patched and healed. And also, with this, Filipinos won’t be obligated
to fly miles away from the homeland to render service to those of not his race
but instead, would roam the world enjoying life to the fullest.....
