Indeed, the global health crisis has served to be a wake-up call to these hardworking Filipinos who have learned a priceless lesson: life can be unpredictable. We must be primed to meet challenges at every turn. This has become doubly important as OFWs try to cope with the devastating effects of a global contagion.

Now that worldwide travel restrictions prevent OFWs from reuniting with their loved ones back home, they are instead focusing on finding wise and stable investments that can support their goals moving forward. For OFWs who have learned financial literacy through the years, the best response to the current crisis is to invest in a reliable future.
