¨The sending of workers to overseas jobs is now haunting Filipino dignity and sovereignty. Since the 1980s successive administrations have failed to stir the domestic economy enough to sustain the growing labor force. Professionals have had to leave families behind to earn enough abroad – sometimes as domestics – to send the kids to college; the unschooled have had to sneak out to slave for abusive foreigners. As the 10 million overseas workers now bring in more dollars than goods exporters do, their welfare is also the excuse for limp-wristed foreign policy.¨ Unfortunate, too, for parent-OFWs, dependents, instead of earning college degrees to help their parents end their overseas stints, sometimes ended up also as domestics to follow the oldies footsteps.
