OFW Odyssey: The Global Stories Behind Filipino Workers’ Remittances

Dive into the untold adventure of every peso, centavo, and dollar that travels oceans and continents in OFW Odyssey: The Global Stories Behind Filipino Workers’ Remittances. Equal parts heartwarming and hilarious, this book peels back the curtain on life as an Overseas Filipino Worker—where the daily grind in a Dubai mall, a Hong Kong hospital, or a Toronto construction site transforms into dreams funded back home.

Within these pages, you’ll meet the kabayan who uses his first remittance to launch a sari-sari store with extra churros (because why not?), the balikbayan box entrepreneur whose innovations spark community-wide celebrations, and the college-bound niece whose gratitude outshines any tuition invoice. Each story is a testament to resilience, family bonds, and the cheeky humor that only Filipinos can deliver at 3 a.m. Skype calls.

Perfect for readers curious about the Filipino diaspora, global remittances, and multicultural narratives, OFW Odyssey blends economic insight with soul-stirring anecdotes. Whether you’re an OFW veteran, a supportive pamilya member, or simply fascinated by migrant worker experiences, you’ll close this book with a deeper appreciation for how a simple remittance can rewrite destinies.

Join the journey—from Manila’s jeepneys to international skylines—and discover why OFW Odyssey belongs on your shelf. Get ready to laugh, cry, and cheer for heroes whose currency is courage and whose greatest transfer is love.
