OFW's are now called the new heroes of the Philippines because they sacrifice, leaving their families just to earn money. They live on other countries making a living so that their families back home would have something to eat and make their lives better. But our OFW's should not be working outside our country, they could not have left their families if only our Country can provide them better jobs, a fair amount for their salary, and good benefits. However the Philippines cannot provide them these so instead they turn to other countries, like an act of desperation, because according to recent studies more Filipinos have gone down below the poverty line.
Also even some of our OFW's are being mistreated, abused, and even deprived of human rights. Some are lucky to come home alive but there are some who die in vain. We cannot do anything. Wrong! Even if we can't do anything now, we must think of something as Gandhi has said "Be the change you want to see in the world" Calling our OFW's our new heroes is not enough they are much more than that.
