Insurance Tips for Overseas Filipino Workers

According to the 2019 Survey on Overseas Filipinos, there are 2.2 million Filipinos living abroad between April to September of that year. This is just the tip of the iceberg. The reality is, around 3,900 Filipinos leave daily to earn better wages in countries such as the UAE, London, and the United States.

A Sad Ending

Not all OFW stories end on a happy note, however. While wages may be higher in these foreign lands, this does not always mean that OFWs are able to build a sizeable retirement fund for themselves when they grow older. For many, most of their earnings immediately go into day-to-day expenses such as food, school tuition, and home upkeep. Things like a retirement fund get pushed aside to the back burner, and more often than not, get forgotten completely until it is too late.
