Please note that I am an Overseas Filipino Worker like you and a visitor in this country (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). Therefore, we are oblige to obey their laws and respect their customs, culture, traditions and religion.
I am not a lawyer nor do I have influence in any Government offices in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I am not also a Philippine Government representative from the office of Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO/OWWA) or the Philippine Embassy.
You ask my opinion and my reply are expressed in good faith to the best of my knowledge and based on my own experiences as an OFW in the Kingdom for almost 16 Years and as a Community Leader recognized by our Philippine Embassy and Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) / Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA).
I take absolutely no responsibility for the consequences arising out of such opinion or views. That is why I am asking you to seek more exact and accurate advice from the Philippine Government offices in the Kingdom overseeing the plight of fellow OFWs.
Thank you.

Maraming Salamat Po sa inyong pagbisita.

Stress being away from Home
29 06 2006Been absent from my blog for two days due to some emotional stress. No need to narrate what really happen, the most important thing is – I was able to cope up an stress that made me as an OFW in distress for two days. Glad – am back.
Psychological stress due to work related problems plus personal setback being away from home is one of the basic reasons why most OFWs ends up in distress.
Working in Saudi Arabia or in other part of the globe is not just as simple as we thought. It means, we must be ready to all uncertainties that we will be facing for a certain period of time.
Psychological problems can cause harm to life functioning that includes work adjustment, social adjustment, legal difficulties, family adjustment and physical health. Indication that contributes emotional problems are depression, anxiety, emotional response, conduct disturbance.
To would be OFWs, if you are not yet ready to embark a new chapter of your life, please think a thousand times and be ready before you end up as an OFW in distress.
However, don’t forget that HE is always there for you in times of troubles. Remember the Holy Scripture that says: CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETIES IN HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU.
