CHAPTER 3:

MODULE 2
 BACKGROUND
KNOWLEDGE:
According to the Blas F. Opley Policy center and training
institute. " There is no let-up in the number of Filipino
women leaving to work abroad as a domestic workers.
Based on the records of POEA, the deployment of
Filipino domestic workers abroad is increasing year-to-
year. For the first time,newly hired household service
workers(HSWs) breached the 100,000 mark( 136,000
deployed in 2011). Around 70% of these HSWs went to
the middle East where conditions are harsh especially
for non-skilled women workers."
 Many women who become domestic workers
abroad had different jobs when they were in the
Philippines. Some of them were teachers in public
schools, which is why many of them are
underemployed overseas. There are engineers
and accountants that become cashiers and
baggers when they go to another country.This is
the unfortunate reality for many Filipinos who
decide to work abroad.

ABOUT THE STORY "
WAITING" by: Ron
Darwin
SUMMARY
The Waiting is a play about a family who
: was brought apart due to the
circumstances of a mother wanting to give
a good and better life. The play is about
SACRIFICE and LOVE for family. The pain
of being away away from them and doing
a job that maybe beyond your comfort
zone just to be able to sustain the needs
of your family. It is also about fighting and
keeping strong in living in a country that is
far different from your home but realizing
that this is all for your family and for a
better future for them.
