BDO Unibank (BDO) has partnered with the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) to provide permanent migrant Filipinos with greater access to information, services, and guidance through financial literacy programs.
The CFO, an agency attached to the Office of the President, is tasked with promoting and protecting the interests, rights, and welfare of overseas Filipinos while strengthening their economic, social, and cultural ties with the Philippines.
“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 Secretary Marianito Roque.
He noted that remittances serve as a form of communication between Filipinos abroad and their loved ones. “Families maintain communication because of remittance. And BDO is bringing families together by connecting them with each other through remittance,” Roque added.
Genie T. Gloria, senior vice president and head of BDO Remit, highlighted the bank’s commitment to supporting migrant Filipinos. “At BDO, we see remittance not just as a financial transaction, but as a lifeline that strengthens family ties. Through this partnership with CFO, we aim to empower overseas Filipinos with financial knowledge and tools that will help them build a more secure future for their families,” she said.
