Although globalization is an overwhelming concept, it is experienced by people in a number of

ways in real terms. For instance, globalization of technology improved modern transportation
and communication. As a result, people become more mobile and are able to reach different
places around the globe. There are various reasons why people leave their country of origin.
Through this activity, you should be able to gain first-hand knowledge of the experiences of
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), people who obviously reached other countries. Their stories
could provide a concrete understanding of how globalization affects themselves, their families,
and the country.

1. Find a former or a current OFW to be interviewed virtually (it could be a family member or a
family friend) Your respondent’s name should not be revealed in class to protect the
person’s identity and ensure anonymity.

2. Use the following guide questions (you may add additional questions):

- How long have you stayed abroad?

- What is/are the purpose for your stay there?

- What were your most unforgettable experiences there? How will you describe
them, good or bad?

- How will you compare the Philippines with other countries?

- Do you want to go back abroad or to other countries in the future? Why or why
not?

3. Share your personal insights about your respondent’s experience.
