 MOTIVATION
1. HOW DOES THE PHILIPPINE
DIASPORA AFFECT THE FAMILIES
INVOLVED?
2. DO YOU THINK MODERN
TECHNOLOGY HAS GIVEN US
ENOUGH THAT FAMILY MEMBERS
WHO LIVE IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
CAN STILL MAINTAIN CLOSE FAMILY
TIES? WHY OR WHY NOT?
3. WHAT KIND OF LIFE DO YOU THINK
FILIPINO OVERSEAS WORKERS HAVE?

 BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE
ACCORDING TO THE BLAS F. OPLE POLICY CENTER
AND TRAINING INSTITUTE, “THERE IS NO LET-UP IN
THE NUMBER OF FILIPINO WOMEN LEAVING TO
WORK ABROAD AS DOMESTIC WORKERS BASED ON
THE RECORDS OF THE PHILIPPINE OVERSEAS
EMPLOYMENT ADMINISTRATION , THE DEPLOYMENT
OF FILIPINO DOMESTIC WORKERS ABROAD IS
INCREASING YEAR- TO-YEAR. FOR THE FIRST TIME,
NEWLY HIRED HOUSEHOLD SERVICE WORKERS
(HSWs) BREACHED THE 100,000- MARK (136,000
DEPLOYED IN 2011). AROUND 70% OF THESE HSWs
WENT TO THE MIDDLE EAST WHERE
CONDITIONS ARE HARSH ESPECIALLY FOR NON-
SKILLED WOMEN WORKERS.”
MANY WOMEN WHO BECOME DOMESTIC
WORKERS ABROAD HAD DIFFERENT JOBS
WHEN THEY WERE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
SOME OF THEM WERE TEACHERS IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS, WHICH IS WHY MANY
OF THEM ARE UNDER- EMPLOYED
OVERSEAS. THERE ARE ENGINEERS AND
ACCOUNTANTS THAT BECOME CASHIERS
AND BAGGERS WHEN THEY GO TO
ANOTHER COUNTRY. THIS IS THE
UNFORTUNATE REALITY FOR MANY
FILIPINOS WHO DECIDED TO WORK
ABROAD.
