What is OFW? OFW are also known as Overseas Filipino Workers. They are Filipino citizens who work in abroad temporarily for a higher income. According to Quinto and Perez the authors of the article posted last October 4-5, 2004 “ The rising flow of OFW is unavoidable because Filipinos need to survive, even if this would mean separation from their families.” This quotation is related to the topic because it is happening in reality. But where did OFW start? According to Antonio the author of the article posted last December 5, 2008. It starts in the high debt of President Marcos during the time of Martial Law because he used it to build building in the city. He wants to make our country, which is a third world country into a first world country which causes a higher debt until now. Before 1972, there is an Immigration Act of 1965, which caused many Filipinos traveling to America to follow their families. This is a big opportunity for Filipinos to work in abroad.
