erryl Pedragosa Gaid was only 20 years old when she decided to go directly to Dubai to be an overseas Filipino worker (OFW). A fresh graduate, she started working as a marketing officer in a real estate company in Business Bay. Although it was not in line with what she had studied, she pursued it because, like many OFWs, she was afraid not to get any good job offer back then other than what’s served on the table.
