The success of OFW families - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos: "ONE OF the signs of the disproportionate social significance of Filipino families with a member working abroad is their presence in the agenda of surveys. For instance, the Bangko Sentral’s quarterly Consumer Expectations Survey asks households how many Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) they have, whether they receive remittances, and how they spend the remittances. From its national sample of 5,643 respondents in 2010Q4, 11.1 percent were OFW families."
