As a daughter of an OFW in Hong Kong, this documentary made me realize what it feels like to be at the same job. It made me understand more about what our OFWs experience, good or bad, and how they cope with it. Luckily, my mom has good employers and never had to struggle so much.
One thing that struck me the most while watching the documentary was when they mentioned about feeling homesick, and one of the ways they cope with it is through sending a balikbayan box, which I can relate to. My mom is fond of sending us balikbayan boxes that even include her old clothes or blankets that smell just like her. That way, we get to receive not only new clothes and shoes, but we also get to feel her love through these little things.
