What Kind of Journalism Would Be Best for Making Investors Out of an OFW Nation
The journalist I mentioned in a previous post who currently works on her masteral thesis, has posed to me the following query:
“What kind of journalism would be best for making investors out of an OFW nation?”
This post is my attempt to answer the query.
Well, making investors out of OFWs is a very tall order. It is a very, very big problem.
In fact, I should say this is the biggest problem with respect to the OFW program as regards the economic side.
A Gadfly’s Proposed OFW Resolution Calling and Urging Congress to Craft Legislation on OFW Economic Reintegration
At the onset of this New Year 2011, it looks tempting once again to set up something like a New Year’s Resolution, a favorite yearly routine we humans do as a testament to our desire for self-improvement and/or our obsession with our own inadequacies.
I certainly do not want to succumb to this temptation of having a New Year’s Resolution for the nth time. But somehow, I love the ring of the word “Resolution” and I don’t want to part with this word so easily. There is a sense of hope, a sense of light, a sense of something that makes one feel good about this word.
With this in mind – and given that I have unabashedly anointed myself as a gadfly on OFW Economic Reintegration issues in my last article “Random Thoughts on Where This Advocacy Blog May Lead To”, I will therefore do something different. I will take this opportunity, to draft a proposed OFW Resolution calling and urging our honorable legislators to craft a bill on OFW Economic Reintegration.
