An OFW was interviewed about their experience working abroad. They chose to be an OFW for financial reasons and to support their family. Some benefits they cited were being able to earn more money than available locally and sending remittances home. Challenges included separation from family, difficult working conditions, and adjusting to a new culture. Overall, the OFW was willing to work abroad again due to better opportunities, but acknowledged it was difficult being away from home. The interview highlighted both the motivations for global migration in search of better economic prospects but also the personal sacrifices involved.
