OFW Diaries – GMA 7

GMA News and Public Affairs presents a new show titled OFW Diaries, which will be hosted by Kara David.

Kara David

It is a program dedicated to our modern day heroes, the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who in 2008 reportedly raked in $16.4 billion in remittances. It also aims to give importance to the personal stories, issues and grievances not only of OFWs but also of their families here in the Philippines.

It premieres on Friday, March 13, 2009, right after the program Saksi.

    hay paulit-ulit lang naman ang mga documentary nila…tell me, na-improve ba nila ang kalagayan ng karamihan sa mga ni-feature nila? no, hanggang documentray lang. so why waste time watching those redundant documentaries? lumabas lang kayo ng mga bahay ninyo or on your way to work or school, observe what’s happening sa surroundings ninyo, you will learn a lot of things on your own.

    Hmm, to us Filipinos here abroad; specially yung mga laki na dito. We’ve only heard of GMA kailan lang mga 2 years ago, whereas ABS we’ve known since the mid 90s, So now that GMA is available here, let me tell you very FEW people subscribe to it kasi nga we don’t know the stars there and we think their standards are very low. ABS-CBN also has a service for us here called “bigatin” its a card that gives you access to a lot of benefits when attending TFC shows, and lots of discounts in several restaurants, clinics, bars etc. both there and the in the Philippines.

    I can speak for every OFW and mga laking-abroad when I say ABS-CBN rules.

  • juicekoday

    Maganda ang pilot episode. Kahit di ako OFW, its a very well thought of show, maraming makaka-relate sa daming OFW ng pinas.

    Kung di nyo gustong panoodin, ayos lang kanya-kanya yan.

  • sacha

    Hi. Pwede ko ba malaman saang govt agency ako pwede lumapit kc ung bf ko nasa dubai.May anak kmi tpos nabalitaan ko na ikakasal n cya sa iba dahil nabuntis nya at nakalimutan n nya yung anak nmin. Saan ko ba to pwede ilapit? Salamat

  • juicekoday

    Sacha… payong kapatid, get yourself a lawyer and file Child Support in Court, that is kung na-recognize ng bf mo ang anak ninyo. I’m not sure, kung makakatulong ang BID and POEA, pero walng mawawala sayo kung ita-try mo… Good luck.
