  • Teresita Comodaz bathes her granddaughter Precious Lara in their home in Cavite, Philippines on Dec. 2006. Teresita and Demetrio (Tita and Emmet) Comodaz takes care of their granddaughter while their daughter Rosalie Villanueva, 35, works as a nurse in the United Arab Emirates. Emmet spent most of his life working in Saudi Arabia and his earnings, and those of his daughter, have enabled the family to move out of the slums in Manila and into a large home in a neighboring town.  Each year, the Philippines exports more than a million of its nationals to work abroad through its overseas employment program. Others leave to become permanent residents of their country of destination. Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) typically work as doctors, accountants, IT professionals, entertainers, teachers, nurses, engineers, military servicemen, students, domestic helpers and caregivers throughout the world, but primarily work in the Middle East and Gulf countries.

  • Precious Lara sleeps with her grandparents Teresita "Tita" and Demetrio Comodaz "Emmet" in Cavite, Philippines on Dec. 2006.  The couple take care of their granddaughter while their daughter Rosalie, 35, works as a nurse in the United Arab Emirates. Precious Lara has not spent much time with either of her parents since her birth and have thus bonded with Tita and Emmet instead. Isolation from family members is a severe issue for Overseas Filipino Workers.

  • Teresita "Tita" and Demetrio "Emmet" Comodaz visit their old neighborhood of Leveriza Malate, a slum area in Manila, Philippines on Dec. 2006.
