Do you want to settle permanently in abroad and Why: as for my age now and the situation of our country i think here is the best place to work and raise a family here in norway but of course, pagtanda natin o pagtanda ko gusto ko sa bayang sinilangan ako bumlik at makasama ang mga kamaganak at mga kaibigan.

Is Working or Living in Foreign Country Beneficial to you and Why: yes of course, coz here i can help and assist my family not only them but some of my friend,also the benefits here and wages was much higher than to other country esp in pinas as like in my profession as a Car mechanic/Technician.

Do you think our countrys economy is getting better because of OFWs and Why: yes,because all balikbayan pilipinos were bringing dollar and other currency, some sending money to pinas. so thats why our government keep on gaining foreign currency and sell it into higher value.

What could be the undesirable effects when working abroad to you and to your family left back home: the time you left your family esp when you have kids and they grow up without your presense.also you miss several occasion in your home,like bdays in your town like fiestas,in your city like xmas and other happy occasion in pinas.

Are You Worried About the Brain Drain that our country is facing at this time and Why: yah,syempre' but i think its better to ask some our local government officials and hindi ako!!!!

Can You give some tips or advise to others who may wish to work abroad too Specially on places that you have worked for: EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND and EXPERIENCE ABROAD!!! you only must have in this country,they are willing to hire us but we must to learn their languages FIRST!

If you will be given a post to serve OFWs what could be your plans to protect or serve the Filipino Workers Worldwide: the best way to protect our pilipino kababayan is to have a constant communication or vice versa for they can say what happen to them and told a story and got a latest news and knowabout esp in pinas.like this OFW CONNECT its very nice and interesting.
