I am used to saying goodbyes. At an early age, my parents have to work abroad. When I was little, it was very hard for me. I would cry and beg for them to stay. I even have an immortal line with my mom...child inside me is still longing for her parents. And I am always hoping for the day when I do not have to say it anymore. The day when I know that the happiness with them at home is not shortlived.

I'm not a Claudine Baretto fan but a day ago I've watched two of her known OFW movies. Maybe because I'm living overseas but somewhat it moved me. Or rather I can relate into it since one was shot in Dubai. 85% of it I can say is true. More so, the story line fitted to most of the stories of Filipinos living and working here. How we survived. But I guess anywhere you(we) go, its the same plight. Its...

I am very attached to my Dad. I think he’s one of the best fathers in the world. He brought me up like a friend and tried fulfilling all my wishes. Mom has always been strict but with Dad around I’ve... the remitter receives the information. It’s as good as any bank passbook and helps you to check the history of all past transactions. So once you remit your money, your worries are put to rest.

...These friends helped me out and I am forever indebted to them for making me feel at ease. So when a new member entered our group I thought of following my friends and helping this guy out. He is Ike, an OFW who moved to the US last week. He reminded me of the days gone by when I used to be a shy fellow with very little knowledge about the US . Like most of us, his first concern was his family and...

Come weekend and I spend all my time on the net. My friends find it weird because they prefer spending their time outdoors. They try to take me out but I never budge. I like it this way because my heart...to send and put the name of the beneficiary and your credit card details, your work’s done. Now isn’t that great? I am eager to see how my friends react once I tell them about this great service.

Mom called me up in the morning to remind me that it’s Aunt Marliou’s birthday today. For those of you who haven’t heard of my Aunt Marilou allow me to introduce her. She is one the funniest people...the details of the beneficiaries who receive my remittances quite frequently once and use it subsequently. I think mom was right this indeed was the last time I asked for her help for addresses.

...availed their facilities. He also told me in depth about the benefits that my folks back home would get if I signed up. Ruben is a dear friend and I have never suspected his motives. Being a fellow OFW he understands the common problems that we OFWs face in countries like the USA and Canada , especially, when it comes to remitting money. He told me how difficult it was for him to send money...

Last time I was talking about the cash that I remitted back home for my dad. I wasn’t too sure if the money reached him and I didn’t want to spoil the fun by asking him over the phone if he had received...longer a tough task. Remit2Home ’s Mobile Alerts service takes care of these nitty gritties. Also they keep me posted on the new products/offers that helps me to make choices easily and quickly.
