The CFO, an attached agency of the Office of the President, is tasked to promote and protect the interests, rights, and welfare of overseas Filipinos while strengthening their economic, social, and cultural ties with the Philippines.
Strengthening ties
“This partnership between BDO and CFO is closing the gap of what BDO has been doing for overseas Filipinos and their families in the Philippines,” said former Labor and Employment Secretary Marianito Roque.
He stressed the vital role of remittances in keeping families connected.
“Families maintain communication because of remittance. And BDO is bringing families together by connecting them with each other through remittance.”
A lifeline, not just a transaction
Genie T. Gloria, senior vice president and head of BDO Remit, echoed this commitment.
“At BDO, we see remittance not just as a financial transaction, but as a lifeline that strengthens family ties. Through this partnership with the CFO, we aim to empower overseas Filipinos with financial knowledge and tools that will help them build a more secure future for their families.”
With this collaboration, both institutions reaffirm their mission to serve the millions of Filipinos abroad who continue to contribute significantly to the country’s economy while providing for their families back home. —Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
