Note: Below post was Isla de Nebz’s entry to the 2009 Pinoy Expats/OFW Blog Awards (PEBA). Since the time I read it (in July of last year), I had no doubt that it will be the best entry and that his blog will be declared the best. We may not have the same situation as Filipinos working outside the Philippines, but I should say that his entry had spoken a lot for people like (and unlike) us. I thank him for allowing me to repost this.

Where my OFW dollars go?
by Isla de Nebz
My OFW dollars go straight to the bank located in my hometown.
Most of it gets withdrawn by my family for their daily and emergency needs. Some dollars left in my account are used by the bank for investments: either as loans to Filipinos who want to acquire a house or to purchase a car or for putting up a small business.
Amy has two sons in grade school. My nieces go to that same school where Amy’s sons go.
