But a look at the Filipino diaspora and the reasons why they migrate is imperative before delving deeper into the campaign to understand the logic behind the launch of the campaign better.
Let’s start!
A Brief Background About OFWs And Why They Travel Abroad For Work
A report by Pilot Guides said that with 10 million migrant workers, the Filipino diaspora is one of the largest worldwide.
They travel to other countries to earn a living due to the poor economy of the country. And their financial contribution to the country’s economy can safely be called a financial lifeline. Furthermore, the remittances they send back to the Philippines help the households lead a financially decent life which is a challenge in the absence of a reasonable means of living.
The Push Factors Behind Filipinos’ Migration
Below are some of the factors that push Filipinos out of the country in search of better job opportunities.
Low Income And Wages
The salary structure in the Philippines is poor. Wages and salaries in different sectors of the economy are low – barely enough to help one make ends meet. Even at times, working long hours makes little difference because the wages are too low to create a substantial financial impact.
Lack Of Savings For Rainy Days
With limited financial means at their disposal, the people of the Philippines can barely manage the daily running expenses. It leaves no room for them to save money for the future or rainy days.
Because let’s face it!
One cannot be working forever. One has to call it a day and stop working. But abandoning work never means one no longer needs money. Right?
So, here is where the need for savings is felt the most.
Lack Of Investment
A poor economy such as the Philippines offers little hope for investments. Whatever one earns is consumed in meeting the necessities of life. And people cannot manage savings.
Therefore, Filipinos travel abroad so that they earn a living in a foreign currency that makes a huge difference after being converted into the local currency. This affords them the financial flexibility to save money and invest.
The Philippines Economy
- In a 2021 World Bank report, the Philippines’ nominal GDP was projected at $394.09 billion.
- In another World Bank report of the same year, the Philippines’ GDP per capita income was projected to be $3,460.5.
The Dropping Inward Remittances
Remember that remittances have always served developing countries as financial lifelines. And almost every developing country receives remittances annually to the tune of multi-billions.
The Philippines was no exception to this.
But in 2022, the inward remittances to the Philippines nosedived to $9.07 billion, down from $36.69 billion in the preceding year, according to a World Bank report.
This drop in the quantum of remittances shrunk the Philippines’ economy, further impacting and saturating the job market in the country.
Therefore, Filipinos travel abroad in search of better job opportunities.
Realising these challenges the people of the Philippines have been facing, ACE Money Transfer has launched an exciting campaign to facilitate the OFWs.
