🌍 Smart Saving, Smarter Futures: OFWs in Saudi Share Their Journeys

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – June 25, 2025

At the recent TFT Watchlist Forum, a powerful message echoed through the room:
Being an OFW isn’t just about working abroad — it’s about building a future.

Overseas Filipino Workers from various industries came together to share how they transformed their
incomes into lasting security. From architects and financial advisors to medical professionals,
each speaker brought personal stories of sacrifice, strategy, and success.

The forum focused on smart saving, disciplined investing, and
long-term vision. Speakers encouraged fellow OFWs to take control of their
finances and think beyond the traditional remit-send-repeat cycle. Many emphasized the value of
financial education, side investments, and even preparing for retirement early.

The event wasn’t just informative — it was inspiring. It showed that the global
Pinoy spirit is about more than just hard work. It’s about building something bigger, not just
for families back home, but for one’s own future, too.

For many, it was a reminder: You didn’t leave home just to survive. You left to thrive.
