In the last 30 years, millions of Filipinos have left the country and their families to seek better employment opportunities abroad to secure a brighter future for their loved ones. These Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) fought hard and gave everything that they could just to chase their dreams of a better life; so much so that they did not leave anything for themselves. Despite earning large amounts of money, not all return to the Philippines with enough financial security for themselves and for their families.

Chris Cervantes, a seafarer by profession, clearly witnessed how several OFW families, who initially struggled with meager salaries, still encountered difficulties to make both ends meet even with a higher income. In fact, they tend to spend more than ever. From buying expensive gadgets to trying out different restaurants, most OFWs think that money is always meant to be spent immediately. That reality prompted him to create his very own advocacy of providing free financial planning sessions to groups of seafarers during their vacant periods.

An inspiration to his colleagues, he eventually decided to expand his program to reach out to more OFWs. He even wrote two (2) books, entitled “Financial Planning for the Fast Changing World” and “Seed Money”. He was also nominated for “Angat Pilipinas” under the OFW category.

Through simple examples derived from his experiences as an OFW, he clearly presents how these financial disasters could be avoided and turned into sources of opportunity for financial success. Chris is indeed our real life hero as he continuously helps the OFWs achieve financial freedom from their jobs overseas to finally be re-united with their families.
