“Don’t wait till your job contract expires or you are retired before you start your business” is the advice given to Overseas Filipino workers, by Desiree Joy Alcala, CEO of Remspec, Inc.,the company organizing the “Hanapbuhay, Kita, atbp ‘05” for ABS-CBN and the Direct Selling Association of the Philippines.
She also adds, “People that work abroad tirelessly go about their daily grind, normally working 10 to 12 hours a day, day in and day out. More than the usual unpleasant working conditions, underpaid hard labor, racial discrimination and employer abuse…what makes it almost unbearable is the homesick feeling that gnaws at their inner being. A lot of them cry themselves to sleep when they finally retire at night..or in the wee hours in the morning… looking at their loved ones’ pictures ... saying to themselves that they need to do this sacrifice for their family. So, they work and send money home, work and send money home, work some more and send money home.
Until finally, their contract expires … or retirement age comes …or some freak incident forces them to go back to the
Unfortunately, local jobs will be more ellusive because of their age, or because they have not been “practicing professionals” while in foreign placement. They now realize that should they have ventured into some kind of business when they were still gainfully employed and it could have saved them from this time of hardship.”
