I’m certain many ordinary Filipinos view overseas employment as a ticket to a more prosperous future. But no overseas employment is really ever permanent. Political turmoil, natural disasters or calamities, accidents, workplace or employment issues, or just plain weariness can put an end to one’s overseas job.

Our welfare officers conduct trainings and briefings for our OFWs abroad who have decided to return to the country for good.
