 Ako si Joel Awat, taga Rosario. Nakatara ako dito ng isalipa at nag-operate ako ng maliit ng negocio. Nagtarabaha ako sa isang campani ng truck. Gumagawa ako ng truck at tumagal ako dito ng ten and a half years na nakatulong ako sa pamily ako dahil sa sweldo ko nakinigita do. My name is Marjorie Rong-Galirias. I am a case worker handling the assisted volunteer returns of migrants to the Philippines. We usually reserve referrals from ascending missions who refers cases of migrants who will be returning to the Philippines. Joel was assisted for her returns and was provided with pre-departure and flight assistance going to the Philippines. Nung umuya ko, napakahirap pala sa isang overseas worker na magtrabaho, tasbiklakan. Medyo nag-adjust ako, nahirapan ako. Yung lifestyle here, yung hirap ng financially, mahirap. So ang plan ako is mag-open ako ng business because there are three options. Mag-work ka, mag-aral ka, mag-business ka, pinili ko yung business. So before we implement the assistance to the beneficiaries, we usually have several stages before the implementations. One is the planning. So in the planning stage, we usually assess the capacity of this individual on their capacities to really do or manage the certain activities that they wanted or they're planning to do. For the case of Joel's, since he already have that certain skills in establishing a certain resto or has the skills to cook, it was very easy for him to establish the certain business. The role of IOM is to directly coordinate and collaborate with the vendor of the beneficiary and we usually provide in-kind assistance, meaning IOM is the one directly paying all the items. Ipnyarchize ko na mga utensil, yung nag-uha ko ng bahay, nag-uha ko ng puesto. Yung opportunity, let's say opportunity or mas mag-go-grow pa si Joel, mas kaya pa niyang ibahagi ang sarili niya at ang thoughts niya or ang capability niya sa ibang tao. Siguro kasama ko siya hanggang doon. Magkasama kaming tutulong sa tao kaya mas pinigigin niya. Yung una, kita ko na ano siya yung parang, parang naano siya sa sarili niya, hindi niya alam kung bakit ba nangyari sa akin to, yung mga ganun. And then din alam ko siya sa fate. So ngayon eh, medyo mahirap ang sales, mayina ang ventahan, pero five pa rin ako. Plano, marami, pero siyempa na nakagayta ko naman sa kanya. We're not young, siyempa na nandon na yung pag-practical kailang stable ka. Nag-heal na rin yung sakit ng muwe ko rin.
