According to recent reports from the Daily Guardian, cash remittances from overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) have risen to USD 2.71 billion. This increase underscores the vital role that Filipinos working abroad play in supporting their families and contributing to the national economy through remittances. The funds are primarily sent in cash form, reflecting continuing reliance on traditional transfer methods. This trend is significant for policymakers and financial stakeholders focused on migration, labor markets, and economic development.
