OFWs Modern Day Heroes (Large Print Edition)

A group of Philippine people became concerned with the welfare of the huge numbers of Filipina engaged in overseas work. Whilst most were well cared for and renumerated, there were many reports of ill-treatment and abuse especially of domestic workers. They approached the Philippine government about this, and it very quickly set up a special secret department to look into this serious matter. A specially trained security officer was appointed and cleverly paired up with a retired Canadian photojournalist in an arrangement, of which he was at first, oblivious.

These two, were subsequently sent to a number of counties where they contacted domestic workers and recorded their stories. The government had plenty of statistics of OFWs but required human-interest stories of their people.

All OFWs, ex-OFWs and their families will find this an interesting and exciting story, although a novel, it contains many true-to-life experiences.
