Maybe the reason behind that is being away from family, if people are alone and working abroad it might affect people’s craving from food. I work as an OFW in Northern America for a while and I personally experience the loneliness away from family which maybe decreases my craving from Filipino out there.
Magtrabaho ako bilang isang OFW sa Northern America para sa isang habang at personal ko maranasan ang kalungkutan ang layo mula sa pamilya na siguro ay nababawasan ang aking craving mula sa mga Filipino out doon.
