I. INTRODUCTION
Migration is not a new word for everyone. In fact, Migration has already started a long time ago. Migration may happen from a place to another or just within a place. Nomads are one example that migration exist before civilization in the world occurs. Nomads are group of people that transfer from one place to another to search for food, shelter and for their livelihood. Nowadays, people choose to move for their lives to be better, for them to survive in their everyday lives, to achieve what they desire, to improve their skills and to gain more money/profit. Migration can do a lot for our living. Many people become rich when they move from one place to another. People who move from a place where there is less opportunity to a place where opportunities are the one who search for them became successful. This only shows that migration can really help people and their families in need.
There are lots of positive effects of migration. But is there a negative impact of migration? If yes, how does Migration affects the daily lives of people especially those that are Filipinos?
II. BODY
Migration creates a big impact to the lives of the people especially to those families that are very close to each other. Many Filipino decide to go abroad for the better. But there are also some consequences when they leave their family. Their children are the most affected. Because they would feel like there is no one to protect and guide them. Children would think that they were been abandoned by their parents.
