OFWs send billions of dollars back home annually, providing a main source of income for many Filipino families. These remittances boost household consumption, stimulating local economic activity and growth and creating jobs. The recent data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) shows around 2.16 million Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs)—from April to September 2023—continue to contribute to the country's economy through remittances, sending home an estimated US$3.43 billion in cash in July 2024. These hardworking Filipinos sacrifice time away from their families, often dreaming of building a more secure and stable future for their loved ones. One of the key ways many OFWs are achieving this is by investing in affordable residential properties back home, an option that not only fulfills their dreams but also impacts the lives of their families.
