==========
The article discusses the potential impact of the ongoing Israel-Gaza war on overseas Filipino workers (OFWs). It raises questions about whether OFWs will continue working in the conflict zone or take advantage of better opportunities in countries like Canada, the US, Australia, the UK, and New Zealand. The article provides statistics on the number of Filipinos in these countries and the types of visas issued to them. It also mentions the decline in OFW deployments and remittances during the pandemic. The article highlights the Philippines' dependence on the labor export program and the need to explore alternative income sources and job centers for Filipinos.
