Overseas Filipino Workers

Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) are Filipino citizens who work in countries outside the Philippines, often in sectors like healthcare, construction, domestic help, and engineering. They leave their homeland temporarily or long-term to earn income, support their families, and gain work experience. OFWs are an essential part of the Philippine economy through their remittances, which help fund education, healthcare, and development projects back home. Despite facing challenges abroad, they are widely regarded as hardworking and resilient, contributing significantly to their families’ well-being and the nation’s growth.
