OFW...Unsung Hero
Hi, fellow
bloggers. My name is Art Siguan. I created this blog to find out more about the
life of an OFW. Like everybody else, I see them as a hero, not because they
provide for their families but also they help in the growth our economy.
Some people think that just because they’re working abroad, automatically, they have a luxurious life, but that’s not always the case.
Many of them are now fighting for their lives, may it be from sickness due to too much work, stress, or even physically abused or inhumanely treated by their employers.
Some are now fighting against time due to death penalties that are sentenced to them for the crime that they did not even commit or just simply by defending themselves.
But the ultimate sacrifice that all of our OFWs are experiencing is being away from their loved ones.
They struggled really hard to fight the loneliness of being away from their parents or even their children, the thought of not taking care of your own child and be there for every first moment of their lives are simply heartbreaking by itself.

But of course there’s always the other side of the story. The sacrifices that were made by our OFWs are rewarded by their family here back home specially if their children graduated or excel in school, or if the family that was left here was able to made good use of the hard-earned money that were sending.
Those are some of the things that an OFW abroad wanted to hear from their families here. After all, that’s what they’re there for.
On my next blog I will tackle things why our kababayans can cope up from the loneliness they feel being away from home. All suggestions and insights that are related to this article are always welcome. You can also send some interesting experiences so I can include them here. Thank you as always for taking the time to read this.
To GOD be the Glory.
