OFW stands for Overseas Filipino Worker.
It refers to Filipino nationals who work abroad to support their families and communities back in the Philippines. OFWs can be found in various industries worldwide, including healthcare, engineering, domestic services, and skilled trades.
They are often called “modern-day heroes” because their remittances significantly contribute to the Philippine economy and help improve the lives of their families and communities.
Despite being far from home, OFWs endure many sacrifices, including homesickness, cultural adjustments, and sometimes difficult working conditions.
Their commitment to supporting loved ones through their work abroad has become a defining aspect of Filipino culture and resilience.
