Senator Cynthia Villar has renewed her call for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their family members to register for the upcoming 13th OFW and Family Summit on November 8, 8:00 a.m. to be held at The Tent, Vista Global South, C5 Extension Road, Las Piñas City.
“This year’s theme ‘Tara Magnegosyo Na!’ is timely because many OFWs are returning home and finding ways to grow their hard-earned money overseas,” according to Villar.
“There should be a viable plan upon return to the Philippines that would make their earnings abroad grow.”
“The mindset should not be working abroad for the remainder of their life. There should be a viable plan upon return to the Philippines that would make their earnings abroad grow,” stressed the veteran legislator and known advocate of the rights and welfare of our migrant workers.
The summit hopes to teach our OFWs and their families’ financial literacy, which they can use as a tool to grow their money in their homeland.
Aside from teaching OFWs and their families how to wisely invest their savings and grow their income, the summit hopes to educate them how to protect their hard-earned money and how not to fall victims of investment scams, fraudulent money schemes, and other wasteful practices that hinder their financial growth.
“This special occasion is a way for my family to give back to our OFWs for the many sacrifices that they have done for our nation.”
