Filipino here. My father is a seaman and have been working for that job for more than 20 years. He does not have health problems and received a good pay that helped me able to graduate from college. Despite his age, he still continues to work because he still needs to sustain the family expenses. Most of the Filipinos sees working overseas a special opportunity to bring good fortune to their families. But sometimes reality strikes hard for some and are lured into abusive employers. This is one of the reasons why we have a government body to handle such cases. Most of these problems happen on non-specialized jobs such as domestic helpers, waiter and care givers since they are the most vulnerable to abuses compared to engineers and nurses.
