Ofw - Overseas Filipino Workers

Oh If Double You What can you do? Your salary is coming Time to pay the due You're away from home In a country not your own Sacrifices are done Just to take money home Your hard earned money Is a sweet jar of honey Made kins so happy Leaving you almost empty Then they call you a hero But the help is almost zero Better go back to your barrio And plant corn and potato.
