Hi:

Most OFWs in the Middle East are out to earn a living to provide for their families back home. That is their chief and only interest. Family values in the Philippines is a very big cultural thing and already existed long before the term was coined.

If there are links, they are surely minuscule. There is the Rajah Soliman movement--as reporterd in Philippine newspapers. It is reportedly made up of OFWs who are recent converts to Islam and have been recruited to sow terror in Manila.

All I know is what I have read in the papers. I suggest you get an RSS feed from the Philippine Daily Inquirer or Philippine Star.

Cheers and Walang Anuman (that's what Filipinos reply when thanked).
