"TO: MANILA (The OFW Song)" br SUBSCRIBE NOW: Watch David's LIVE Acoustic Versions (original songs) playlist: br This song is DEDICATED TO ALL THE HARD WORKING OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers) around the world. I've sometimes felt like an OFW ...that feeling of excitement in "coming home" landing in Manila after sometimes years away. br br I wrote this song wGeneva Cruz & Junji Arias during my 3rd trip to Manila. It might seem strange for a foreigner to write such an intimate song about Manila, but I think it was probably easier for me to do so. When you see a place for the first time andor it's still somewhat brand new to you it's often much easier to see the beauty within the clutter. Sometime after we've been in a place for too long you start to overlook the things about it that you love.
