The president seems to be promoting overseas job for the Filipinos. Instead of creating job opportunities inside the country the president wants the Filipinos out. The pope himself even called the attention of the government to generate jobs here and not to encourage works abroad.
The main concern is the effect of overseas working on the family. For most OFWs leaving the country to work was their last resort to sustain the families. They wouldn’t want to leave the country if there are opportunities here. A father or a mother going abroad to work has a big impact on the family.
Many studies have been conducted the past years saying it has negative effects on the family. If the government’s sole purpose is the welfare of the people then the government should be creating good job opportunities here and not abroad.
