Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) use technology and social media to connect and strengthen their relationships with their families and communities back home.

They meaningfully engage with the people that matter to them at home and abroad. People can protect themselves by being mindful of the experiences they share, respectful in their interactions, and critical of the information they see online. They are also able to leverage technology to reach out to governments and authorities and help fellow OFWs in times of need, as well as drive advocacy and positive change for Filipinos around the globe.

People can protect themselves by being mindful of the experiences they share, respectful in their interactions, and critical of the information they see online.
