Introduction

"Porke't nag-abroad 'yan akala mo kung sinong mayaman!" (Just because you were able to go abroad, you think you are already rich!)
That is the motto of almost all OFWs anywhere in the Philippines when you go abroad and when you come home you don't leave home because you don't have money, that's what you immediately hear from them. "Such is the life of an OFW."
This book is about the story of each OFW, experiences that can make it clear that not everyone who went abroad is rich, arrogant, and what other people call those who become OFWs.
K'wento (Stories) is also the story of every Filipino who has been deprived of good fortune, not only for OFWs but also for the Filipino people who have somewhat forgotten their own origins. And the stories of success in every hardship and vigilance on the facebook of OFWs.
It also includes the story of street children who only once notice their importance and character. Children no longer cared for by their parents and left to roam the streets.
Here is also the story of a son who regrets when it was too late to feel love for his father, See "Si Itay."
Heartbreaking experience of a teenager dubbed "Bastard" of one's own father.
K'wento of a Single Mom who endured being separated from her children for their future, "Single Mom in The Challenge of Life Fight."
It also contains the real experience of an OFW in Libya during the war, unforgettable experiences that have become nightmares in their eyes, the "Hug and can I still see my family?"
