It is an advocacy song dedicated to all Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs)who have opted to work thousands of miles away from their loved ones in an effort to provide a good life for their family.

Message and structure

The song tells the situation in the Philippines on why some Filipinos are working abroad. The song also relates the experiences of OFWs while working abroad, like being restless (pahinga’y iipunin para magamit pag-uwi), or sometimes being abused, or dying without even a witness (...gugutumin, sasaktan, malalagay sa peligro. Uuwing nasa kahon ni wala man lang testigo).
