I'll bite.............yes!
The risks of going to such places are made clear.............still you see the sickening heartwrenching sight of the huge lines in the OFW queues at Manila Airport, so ignorant - perhaps.
However the latter one is more to the point - "desperate". Simple as that, the choices are there, and they choice is to take that risk. Working as for one example in the blistering heat, running into the road in-between traffic to scrub the crossings to make them clean. Go to Dubai and you will see this one example of immigrant worker.
Argue with that if you want, I would say anyone who would leave their country to work in such amust be to some extent desperate.
Have you actually been to Dubai/UAE? I think you'll find 99% of the OFWs going there get exactly what they are expecting. The UAE is far from perfect, but I recall a recent 'slave' case in the UK too. The people/tribes from different Arab countries do behave differently. I agree that a female going to Saudi or Kuwait as a house help/maid needs to be very very very careful. Dubai less so.
As for the huge lines at Manila airport, yes they want to go abroad to earn money to feed their families.
The PH government have now put the CFO process in place to try and educate OFW going to all countries.
