A subaltern’s view: OFW evacuation, reintegration, and deeper OFW concerns 0 SHARES Share it! The spread of hostilities to OFW-intensive areas (such as Saudi Arabia) could render OFW evacuation a nightmare. I shall take this opportunity instead to comment on related OFW concerns, in particular, on the consequences of evacuation and on otherwise hidden but deeper OFWs concerns. Another ripe area for focused re-examination, after 5 decades of sending contract workers overseas, is our overall deployment policy. The time is perhaps right to fine tune our policies to consciously keep our overseas workers out of potential harm’s way.
