 ABSTRACT
This is nice to have an project about our
heroes “OFW” through this I gain many
knowledge about entering this career. Being
an OFW is that hard, not only because you
are in different country but being an OFW is
being far to your family and loved ones.
 INTRODUCTION
Do you consider OFWs as a hero? Let me help you
decide if they are. But first, let’s define what a hero is
or what qualities they possess. The word hero is a
person or character who, in the face of danger and
adversity or from a position of weakness, displays
courage, bravery or self-sacrifice. From its definition,
we get the trait of a true hero. They are courageful,
brave, and unselfish, which makes them a noble and a
good model.
 CONCLUSION
OFWs provide strong remittance inflows. The Philippines is the 4th largest recipient of foreign
remittances. Generally speaking, remittances from OFWS favor the country’s economic
development by playing a role in alleviating poverty and creating a stable cash flow and
circulation. Remittances from OFWs have not only secured the basic needs of their own
families but also have kept the country’s economy afloat by providing liquidity amid global
financial crises. Remittance from OFWs is the 2nd largest source of the country’s foreign
reserves.

OFWs are often employed in poor working conditions. Because many are still unable to find a
job in the Philippines because of poor educational background and lack of working experience,
many Filipinos go out of the country to sustain their family’s basic needs in the face of low
wages and long hours of work, not to mention women who are mainly employed as caregivers
and domestic helpers. Despite poor employment conditions, many Filipinos choose to work
patiently overseas to provide their families adequate nutrition and sustain other needs.

CONCLUSION

Trough this survey we find out the Problem of a city is Corruption, every
people feels the lack of survices from the corrupt Government itself
handled the whole responsibility of holding taxes, so people sees it as
Government’s fault.
As a student of this 21st Century I have the insight of having a more
improved government, I will choose the right person to seat or a right
position.
 Therefore I conclude to this, every tax payer, deserve to be served in a
good way.
