While OFW needs pre-departure Orientation, it might also be a better idea if the gov’t. can find a way to give orientation to the families or beneficiaries to help them better understand the life of an OFW.

Hi, sorry about the font problem. I can’t figure it out–I am so non-techie. Bear with me please. I will ask the geek squad to help.

I hope most of our Filipino OFWs learn from this mistake. This lesson should also apply to us families who receive remittance from them. Hopefully we learn to save some of these remittances and spend them wisely.

There should be a pre-departure orientation for OFWs where they orient the workers on their rights, where they go to for help, and handling money. OFWs should only target 5years of working abroad and return home with enough savings to start a business.

Great article. Thanks for the info. Now, if you can only make the font size larger and stop being cute, it’d be easier to read.
Of course, you can always expect lazy-reader like me to press Control+ just to read you, then Control- afterwards, right?

“act of GOd”… i love it!!!! pero sa iba…. nakakalungkot poh kc di nila pinahalagahan ang paggamit ng word na e2…

sana lang malaman nila kung panu nararapat gmitin ang mga salitang ito.

minsan na poh nating naitanung sa ating mga saliri kung nagamit natin e2ng mga salitang ito kung tayo’y sobrang napapasaya at nabibiyayaan ng ating Amang nsa LAngit…. so sadyang nagbubulagbulagan lng tayong aminin na ito ay resulta ng ating mga ginawa o ginagawa…. hmmmmm

let’s be fair and thankful dhil C GOd sobrang mahal ang PILIPINAS… pansinin lng natin kung gaano nia tayo na spare sa lahat ng posibleng calamity pa na dadating…. hmmmm

God bless!!!!

You might not really like the term ‘Act of God’. But surprise - it’s a perfectly valid, legal term understood by lawyers and court alike! You need not take it literally that God did it. The term just has had centuries of usage in Western legal circles.

An alternative legal term is ‘force majeure’, but then how many Pinoys know French?

Off-topic: I think the phrase “act of God” is a terrible choice of words for the insurance companies. A more appropriate phrase would be “act of Nature.”
