Last April 27, the Department of Migrant Workers and the Department of Foreign Affairs said 409 Filipinos have already been evacuated from the conflict in Sudan.
Most OFWs were from Calabarzon , Central Luzon , Western Visayas , Ilocos Region , Metro Manila , and Cagayan Valley . As expressed by the Global Finance Magazine, which made a list of the richest and poorest countries in the world by adjusting the gross domestic product for relative purchasing power, the Philippines has a GDP-PPP per capita of only $11,420.
Likewise, a person living in Hong Kong is said to be 42.7 percent less likely to be jobless, while in UAE, where 276,278 OFWs have worked in 2016, someone is said to be 68.7 percent less likely to be jobless.But while it is easy to understand why thousands of Filipinos decide to work in rich countries, it may be hard to commiserate with as to why some OFWs are willing to take risks in poor countries, even poorer, sometimes more dangerous, than the Philippines.
Even in countries that are least peaceful, based on the Global Peace Index 2022, there are also thousands of OFWs who take chances for a better life not only for them but for their families, too.The Institute for Economics and Peace said Afghanistan , Yemen , Syria , Russia , and South Sudan were the five “least peaceful” countries last year.
