OFW’s, Control Your S(p)ending

It’s old story. Actually. A cliche. A history repeating itself. Generation of OFW’s after generation of new OFW’s. A lesson not learned.

Filipinos overseas, no matter how the earning years pass by, still hold on to the undying padala and pa-“package” mentality.

Nick tells us to never lose hope. To see the beauty in us. He asserts that the willpower is a driving force for making our big dreams come true.
