OFW, BPO to rescue economy-FFCCCII

Manila Bulletin

September 27, 2025

Amid ongoing debates on flood control projects and corruption issues, the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII) has pointed to key sectors that continue to support the economy.

- By GABRIELL CHRISTEL GALANG

During a media roundtable on Thursday, Sept. 25, Jeffrey T. Ng, executive vice president of FFCCCII, said the Senate hearings on flood control projects have not only affected the economy but also caused a slight shakeup in the construction industry.

Despite this, he believes that remittances from overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and the Information Technology-Business Process Management (IT-BPM) sector have been the economy's "saving graces" so far.

"As long as they can find jobs abroad, then that's good for the economy," Ng stated.
