“This was the place where my OFW journey began. It’s where I took my OET, failed it, had it remarked, and eventually passed,” Nurse Even added, referring to the Occupational English Test, an English language test for international healthcare professionals.

“It’s also where I did my interview for my UK employer, the one that brought me to Sunderland,” he continued.

“Looking back, this was the place where things quietly started to fall into place. Habang kinukunan ko s’ya ng picture, it reminded me of everything I had to push through… Pero hindi ako nag-give up. I trusted the timing. I trusted the process,” he said.
