Extreme Homesickness

Labor Attache Nasser Munder, the representative of the recruitment agency said that Clara starts working in Saudi Arabia just a month ago.

Munder revealed that Clara and other distressed OFWs residing in Bahay Kalinga have already repatriated.

The recruitment agency’s representative explained that Carla is only one of the OFWs who can’t endure homesickness and making unexpected things just to go back to the country.

The Labor attaché also advised the recruitment agencies to conduct a background check on the applicants before working abroad.

“Bago niyo ipadala, tingnan niyo muna ang background nila, i-brief muna sila kung ano ang dadatnan dito, kung ano ang posibleng puwedeng mangyari dito para makapag-isip-isip yung mga gusto mag-abroad kung kaya niya o hindi niya kaya,” Munder said quoted by GMA.

He also advised the OFW’s to think wisely before making decisions about working abroad.
