Maligayang araw ng kagitingan!
At dahil ngayon ay araw ng kagitingan, dapat nating icelebrate ang ating mga bayani.
For now, let’s focus on our modern heroes! The OFWs.
Ikaw ba ay isang OFW? Or may kilala ka bang isang OFW?
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) - our modern-day heroes. They work hard in foreign lands, away from their families, to provide for them and support our country's economy.
They represent Filipino culture, overcome challenges, and contribute to our nation's progress. Let's celebrate and honor them for their selflessness, resilience, and dedication.
Here are some of the reasons why they're so important to our country's economy.
🇵🇭Remittances: OFWs send a lot of money back home to their families. In 2020 alone, they sent USD 29.9 billion, which is a big boost to our economy.
🇵🇭Job Creation: OFWs not only support their own families but also create jobs in the Philippines. They invest in businesses and real estate, which means more jobs for our communities.
🇵🇭Skills and Knowledge Transfer: OFWs learn new skills and knowledge while working abroad, and when they come back, they share what they've learned with others. This helps our country grow and develop.
🇵🇭Trade and Investment: OFWs help promote trade and investment between the Philippines and other countries. They know the business practices of other nations, which helps us create more economic opportunities.
🇵🇭Tourism: OFWs promote our country's culture and attractions to people from other countries, which helps bring in tourists and generate revenue for our tourism industry.
Sobrang laki ng naiambag nila sa ating bansa, kaya let’s not forget to give credits to our modern heroes not just today, but daily.
Happy Valor Day once again!
