In Part 1 of this heartfelt series, we explore the emotional weight of homesickness experienced by Filipina workers abroad. What does it feel like to miss birthdays, holidays, or even ordinary dinners at home? We listen to the raw stories of OFW women facing loneliness, guilt, and emotional burnout—and how they find strength through community, routine, faith, and small daily victories. This episode is a tribute to every woman who smiles for her family while quietly carrying the ache of distance.
