It’s no longer a shocker for Filipino families to have one or two members leave the country for greener pasture abroad. Our Overseas Filipino Workers are our ‘Modern Heroes’ who sacrifice their life and their being for the sake of the family’s betterment.
Six in every ten OFWs are women, mostly mothers hoping they will be able to give their children a much brighter future. However, the aspiration for a brighter future is accompanied by a real battle, not only for those who left, but also for those who remained.
This is Marilou Omambac’s story of love and sacrifices for her family and how her children John, Jelo, and Marmelou see her as their hero, their embodiment of hope, and their source of strength.
