• A study by the Asian Development Bank revealed that foreign remittances by OFWs stood at 12 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP), making it one of the most important sources of foreign exchange in the country.


Rationale:Livelihood Development Assistance Program (LDAP)

DOLE Kabuhayan Starter Kit Project (DKSK)

• Remittances play a significant role in the Philippines’ economy. These remittance inflows are used to address various household needs such as food, shelter, and education of OFW families. In some households, remittances are also used as investments in entrepreneurial pursuits. In effect, it is a tool for poverty alleviation since families have a higher purchasing power than before.


Rationale:

• Although many OFWs were successful in rearing their families towards a decent family living, some have failed due to financial mismanagement and cases of maltreatment. They finally decided to settle in the country though gripped with uncertainties on how to reintegrate with the community and how to aptly raise the family.


Rationale:


• With the foregoing, the municipal government through its MPRAT has identified Reintegration Program for OFWs of the National Reintegration Center for OFWs (NRCO) of the DOLE through the Livelihood Development Assistance Program (LDAP) as one of its BuB Projects.
