Read why people like “The Privileged Migrants:”
“Documentaries about OFWs usually focus on Pinoys who have no choice but to work abroad. ‘The Privileged Migrants’ present those who choose to work abroad even if they don’t need to. This is an interesting take on the OFW story.” Dr. Clodualdo “Doy” del Mundo, Jr.,Professor Emeritus, De La Salle University
“Personal, touching story on love & leaving.” Baby Ruth Villarama, “Jazz in Love” Director
“’The Privileged Migrants’ moniker may sound problematic to some, but beyond that, this video diary possesses a captivating charm that makes it entertaining to watch.” Ricky Orellana, Mowelfund Film Institute
“Tumatak talaga sa isip ko na whether we like it or not, may magaganap talagang unique na pagbabago sa mga taong nangingibang bansa. Pagbabago na hindi kayang i-express kapag siya ay nasa Pilipinas lang. Di iisang beses, naipahiwatig ito ng mga subjects ni Rica habang kinumusta at inusisa niya ang kanilang mga makukulay na buhay sa iba’t-ibang bahagi ng daigdig.” Ronald Mangubat, OFW based in Taiwan
"This personal journey of Director Rica Arevalo captures the simple yet complex lives of OFWs and Filipino migrants. The familiar is finally on celluloid that every Filipino family can relate to. You know exactly what her subjects are going through, and the universal lessons on the film will sink in right after the credits start rolling. This macro look of cross-continental friendship is a must see!" Will Fredo, “In Nomine Matris” Director
