What do the future has to offer to OFWs?
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?
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?
