Answer:
The Abrio family did not think twice about pawning their motorcycle so the head of the family, Joel, can afford the requirements needed to work abroad. It was, after all, a necessary sacrifice for the beginning of their family’s many good dreams: to afford quality education for their children, a comfortable life, and a house of their own.
But their dreams were shattered. Last year, Joel, an overseas Filipino worker in Saudi Arabia, stopped receiving his salary as officials claimed that their company is “folding up.” His wife Elvira Abrio has gone from one government agency to another, asking to bring him home.
But she eventually got tired of all the empty promises she was given.
