There’s often little certainty for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) about where the next contract will come from.
Crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic—and more recently, the conflict in the Middle East—could trigger mass layoffs, thus forcing thousands of Filipinos to return home with few job prospects waiting for them.
