What do the future has to offer to OFWs?

Where Else Will You Go?

There’s no vacancy in the factory

The same is true in the offices

Even in construction there is none

Your stomach boils most of the time

There’s nothing you can do

But to leave the country

To work and earn in foreign land

Than to die with eyes wide open

Singapore and Korea had lost affection

Saudi and friends are now very meager

US and Canada are very strict and expensive

The same with Europe, Australia and others

Japan had reduce her import on manpower

In Taiwan you can only work once with her

You might fall into prostitution w/ Malaysia

With Brunei you might suffer the same fate

There are kidnappings and killings in Africa

Bombings are everywhere in war torn Iraq

You’ll experience the same with Afghanistan

Suicide bombers in Israel is causing anxiety

My Philippines what are you going to do?

Salary and dollar are now very low

Yet oftentimes they are abusing you

Philippines where else do you go?

Saan Ka Pa Papunta

Walang bakante sa pabrika

Gayundin sa mga upisina

Maging sa konstruksyon ay wala

Madalas kumakalam ang sikmura

Kaya wala kang magawa

kundi lisanin ang bansa

Upang sa ibayo magtrabaho’t kumita

Kaysa mamatay na dilat mga mata

Subalit nagtampo na si Singapore at Korea

Naging barat na si Saudi at mga kauri niya

Sobrang higpit at mahal nina Amerika at Canada

Pati na sina Europe, at Australia at iba pa

Si Japan ay nagbawas na

Kay Taiwan “di na makaulit pa

Prostitusyon ang bagsak mo kay Malaysia

Kay Brunei gayundin malamang ang punta

Nandudukot at pumapatay si Nigeria”t kasama

Kay Iraq naman laganap ang pagbobomba

Gayundin ang sitwasyon kay Afghanistan anila

Mga suicide bombers kay Israel nakakabahala

Pilipinas paano ka na?

Pasahod at dolyar napakababa na

Madalas pang naaabuso ka

Pilipinas saan ka pa pupunta?
