What!? Another article on OFW and their families? Binasa na iyan. What is needed is a way out for Philippines. A way out of the policitians sucking our country dry of its economic resources.

You are pathetic. I cannot practice law in the U.S. because I have not passed their licentiure exam yet. If I pass it then I can practice it here.

The questionable statement was you left lawyering when you migrated.

then, your letter to the justice puno said otherwise. Liar?

it is really that simple. :)

“You story is also anecdotal as a migrant Filipino. now just answer me my question, are you not pursuing another career because you cannot practise law in the US. Don’t be embarrass. I am not even shaming you. It is just that you are afflicted by dementia that you wrote it sometime ago. CAT

You are pathetic. I cannot practice law in the U.S. because I have not passed their licentiure exam yet. If I pass it then I can practice it here. I never said that I cannot practice here. If you have me on record that I said that, go ahead post repost it here.

Other bloggers here who do not have PhD credentials had realized that separating a mother or a father from the kids could have some traumatic effects on the kids. But we tend to gloss over those effects because the kids have some trade-offs, their being able to attend good schools and being able to enjoy the convenience that money can bring but “people do not live by bread alone”.

The extreme of these traumatic experience is where mom and dad go separate ways because of their being away for long from each other. I have cited two cases because I do not have actual data of other OFW’s who could have suffered the same fate as my two models, while you have limited your punditry on what you read online.

You are arguing in full circle and I could not quite comprehend your infatuation over my personal circumstances. My life is not in issue here please get over it. It is my position that OFW migration has a deleterious effect on young kids left behind that is the issue. Some young kids could have gotten over their emotional imbalance brought about by an absentee parent/parents, but as a whole, I believe that dual parenting is the fundamental key in developing in every child a wholesome emotional make-up. :)

pag pumunta ka sa America or anywhere in the world, one thing you have to prepared for is the culture shock, kung OFW ka meron contract so if you are a nurse, you will be working as a nurse, dito sa US if u are a migrant, maraming graduate ng pagka doctor sa Phils, pero theyre working as nurse,nothing to be ashamed of, most imprtant sa america is you have a roof over your head, marami din lawyer na nageend up as security guard or salespeople, they need to survive
anak ako ng OFW, im very proud to be one of them, nobody’s perfect, but one thing I’ve cherished is knowing that my Parents wanted me to have a better life so they had to go abroad. wala pang immediate solution to make our economy better, for now the short term solution is to give advice, training/guidance and moral support to the OFWs and the children they have to leave behind, from the Church, the education system, and maybe bills from the politicians you have put in charged to make your life better by formulating rules and regulations

Don’t interject my personal issue unless you educate yourself of my issue because you are bound to mislead FV readers again. :)

You story is also anecdotal as a migrant Filipino. now just answer me my question, are you not pursuing another career because you cannot practise law in the US. Don’t be embarrass. I am not even shaming you. It is just that you are afflicted by dementia that you wrote it sometime ago.

Two anecdotes against sample sixe of thousands.

Do you know how to count?
