Masarap MAG-ABROAD!
Madalas na naisusulat sa mga artikulo, sanaysay, o blog ang mga karanasan ng bawat Pilipinong nagpunta o nanirahan sa ibang bansa tulad na lamang ng mga kababayan nating mga OFWs. Sa tuwina’y tinatalakay doon kung gaano ‘kahirap, kainip-inip at kalungkot’ ang mabuhay na malayo sa pamilya sa kagustuhang mabigyan ng magandang kinabukasan ang mga ito. Kung minsan naman ay pinapaksa ang mga negatibo o positibong gawi, kilos, pag-uugali o pamumuhay ng mga Pilipino sa bansang…

PAGLISAN: Kwentong OFW
“Mahirap umalis sa bayan. Pero mas mahirap na makita mo ang pamilya mo na naghihirap” ‘Yan na siguro ang madaling sagot sa mga tanong kung bakit mas ninanais ng karamihan sa mga Pilipino ang mangibang-bayan. Ano nga ba ang maasahan sa Pilipinas kung patuloy pa ring nananalakay ang kanser ng kahirapan. Mas hinahangad ng mga Pinoy ang magpaalipin kesa sa mamatay sa gutom ang myembro ng kanyang pamilya. Ang paglisan sa bayan ay isang desisyon.…
