OFW Dreams
There are at least 3 million overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) scattered all over the world. Many of them dream of providing a good life for their family. Many dream of earning a better salary, mostly because jobs abroad do earn several times more than what similar jobs and positions pay in the Philippines.
Top goals for OFWs:
- Traveling to another country
- Earning more money
- Building dream house
- Buying dream car
- Owning a business
