OFW New Year’s resolutions: ‘I’ll save, have a skills upgrade, do community service and travel’

Aside from opening small business in the Philippines, it’s also all about saving money, attending skills training to increase marketability, helping less fortunate overseas Filipino workers and seeing places as a matter of rewarding one’s self.

This, in a nutshell, is what’s revealed in the The Filipino Times’ straw poll of what overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in the UAE have in mind for 2019.

Alyssa Jane Isana, Electronics engineer
To save more and earn more. To focus more on my career and continue to be an inspiration and blessing to others; continue to be part of the legacy of the Filipino expats by being resilient amidst the turbulence of working away from our homeland. I would also try to resist buying items on sale that aren’t necessary and look for better opportunities and improve myself more in order to achieve my goals.

Jhun Dondonilla, Electrical engineer
Umiwas sa pagbili ng mga gadgets at personal na bagay na usually nabibili ng mura dito dahil sa palagiang sale. I will utilize that extra money to expand my investment at makapagdagdag pa ng apartment/room for rents kahit paisa-isang pinto in preparation for my retirement as OFW.
