Living and working abroad is not easy. OFWs need all the help they can get. OFW Guardian seeks to provide accurate and relevant information to Filipino overseas workers and to support their role in the global Filipino community. As such, our creedo: Inform, Inspire, Involve.

The OFW Handbook, published by OFW Guardian, is a collection of tips, facts and other information that the Overseas Filipino Worker will find useful. Everything from advice on travelling to a foreign country and adjusting to a new culture, suggestions on how to stay in touch with friends and family, and even a directory of important contact numbers are available in this handy guide.

It is a primer for the Filipinos leaving the country for the first time and a handy reference for veteran OFW. The guide covers the following areas:

  • Travel

  • Keeping in Touch
  • Money Basics

Information for the modules comes from our NGO partners such as the Aware Foundation and relevant government agencies such as the Overseas Workers’ Welfare Administration (OWWA), the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), and the Commission for Filipinos Overseas (CFO).
