OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers)

Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) are Filipino citizens who temporarily or permanently work abroad to earn income and support their families back home. They take on various roles such as professionals, skilled workers, laborers, or domestic helpers in different countries. OFWs contribute significantly to the Philippine economy through their remittances, which help finance domestic needs, infrastructure, and social services. They often face challenges like adapting to new cultures, legal considerations, and separation from loved ones. Despite these difficulties, OFWs are regarded as vital contributors to national development and are often celebrated for their resilience and dedication.
