OFWs or Overseas Filipino Workers have been the backbone of many sectors in the Philippine economy. The value of their services make a huge difference especially in times when the country is experiencing slow economic growth.

According to Statistica Research department, an estimated 676 thousand Filipino workers were deployed overseas, a 69 percent drop from the previous year. Source:

Currently, there are about 2.2 Million OFWs working abroad And while the majority of those deployed are domestic workers and helpers, there are also an increasing number of other professionals who are leaving the Philippines for greener pastures elsewhere.

We don’t have to even go any further as our very own co-host, Doc Tiane is, by all intents and purposes, an OFW. And in this episode, we will be talking about his experiences as an OFW.
