			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Poverty is one of the main reasons why most Filipinos opted to work abroad. The pain of leaving loved ones, it’s a matter of decision making. For married Filipinos too hard to leave families specially if the one leaving is the breadwinner. Not so painful if single, because most of them would feel excitement, they tend to become adventurous in short they will enjoy. Some of them could afford to laugh upon leaving their parents in the airport.</p>
<p>A husband leaving his wife and children is having one foot in the Philippines and one foot abroad. Just think how hard it is. Can you ever imagine how does it feel the moment the husband step in the plane? Oh! It’s a tearing moment. Even though it is carefully planned, can’t deny the fact that is really worth crying for. Three to six years contract can’t imagine what might happen throughout the years.</p>
<p>Good thing we are now enjoying the fruits of great minds that studied and saw the need. Technology serves as the bridge to keep in touch. Going back to history where Internet is not yet a trend, its just pen and paper, and telephone. But when Internet started, its just having your loved ones abroad close to you. Internet chat and emails become so important for communication purposes.</p>
<p>Communication is very important, for example, the instance you left the age of your first baby is 2 months, you are still unknown to your baby not even memorize your name and could not call you daddy. No one wants that, that’s why there is a need to communicate every now and then. You can even teach your child even if you are far. You can still make follow up proper monitoring, as he grows older. You then still become part of disciplining your child; these are just few benefits that Internet has to offer for OFW’S.</p>
<p>Although it’s too different having them in personal but then at least it ease the feeling of emptiness. Personal care is too different but because you wanted good earning for your family you need to adapt and accept. It’s called sacrifice. Sacrifice for both parties, for the intention to grow and to have a quality life. To give better education and supply the daily needs of the family. It’s the amount of sacrifice you are willing to give in, plus TRUST and PATIENCE. Just learn the basic of Internet chat and email, its one way of bridging the gap. It keeps ties closer.</p>
