BEGINNING: One day Vince went to the

Philippine airport to pick up his sister Jing, who is
an OFW in the other country. While Vince was
waiting at the airport, he saw the OFW workers
carrying their bags and balikbayan boxes. He also
saw a bunch of people picking up their relatives at
the airport.
MIDDLE: While he was waiting at the airport, he saw nothing but the boxes
that the Filipino workers were carrying, everywhere he turned all he saw were
boxes, which made him wonder how hard it is to work in another country or
how difficult it is to be an OFW worker, and how important are balikbayan
boxes to an OFW worker when returning home to their own country, in the
airport his older sister answered his question that how difficult it is to be an
OFW worker and how important the balikbayan boxes to an OFW workers,
 PLOT
his sister answered it by telling the story of a life of OFW workers in the
Middle East in the country of Dubai, she told to vince that there is a male
engineer who works in Dubai, who wants to go home but He can't afford the
ticket because his income is just enough for his living expenses and the
other half is for his wife in the Philippines, so the male engineer talked to
his room-mate that he will just pay the excess baggage fee to go home to the
country of philippines, without purchasing an airfare ticket.

CLIMAX: While his sister was talking about the male OFW workers, Vince
was confused about how that male could go back to the Philippines
without purchasing an airfare ticket. At that moment, his sister Jing
continued to tell the story; she said that the male engineer and his friend
went through that on the flight to the Philippines, while on the way to
Manila, the male engineer died due to hypothermia. It was only then that
Vince found out and understood that the excess baggage that he would pay
for was not for the suitcases but for the placement of the male engineer.
