Hello everyone!
Hope all are safe and well! ☺️❤️🙏
The past days have been really busy for me, and it’s all because I’ve been accompanying someone special here in Manila who is working on documents and requirements for going abroad. I thought it would just be a matter of submitting papers and waiting for approval, but I was wrong. There’s so much more behind the scenes that many people don’t see and it’s not easy at all.
We always have to leave early in the morning, hoping to make it on time, but traffic in Manila can be unpredictable. Even with an early start, we still end up stuck on the road and arriving at the agency a little later than planned.
Since I’m not familiar with the process of preparing to work abroad, I’ve been learning along the way. It’s not just about getting a job offer, you have to comply with so many requirements, from personal documents to medical tests, each with its own steps. And once you think you’re done, you often find yourself going back to the same office for additional papers or missing details.
There are also various fees to pay, and at times, we’ve had to walk several kilometers from one office to another under the hot sun. Every requirement comes with its own effort, patience, and sweat, literally!
What makes it even more stressful is when problems with the documents arise. Even small errors, missing details, or mismatched information can cause delays or, worst case, stop someone from working abroad entirely.
Right now, we’re facing another challenge. In his previous agency, he wasn’t able to fly for the job he applied for because he lacked the placement fee. We were expecting that with his new job offer from a different agency, he could finally fly abroad next week. However, another problem has come up, he needs to settle the pending issue with the previous agency, pay the necessary amount, and get cleared from them as soon as possible before he can proceed with the new opportunity.
I truly hope everything gets resolved quickly so he can finally make his dream of working overseas a reality.
By the way, here I am while walking in Arca South, going back to my sister’s place from the agency in Manila. That day was so tiring, but I’m glad I was able to capture a happy moment. 🤭 It’s a reminder of the resilience needed for the long days and countless steps we’ve taken in this journey.
Because of all these busy days, I haven’t had much time here and wasn’t able to reply to some comments. But I promise I’ll get back to everyone and engage again actively.
Have a Blessed Friday everyone! 😀😀😀💖💖💖
