BALIK PILIPINAS ENTRE PINOY PROGRAM

DUBBED the country's modern day heroes, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) today contribute a lot to the nation's growth and development - but at a price. They have to leave their own families to work abroad as office and factory workers and even as domestic helpers.

Many would like to come home and set up their own enterprises. For this, they need training and technical assistance.

The "Balik Pilipinas Entre Pinoy Program'' is one such training program that can equip Filipino workers with knowledge and skills in entrepreneurship. The program is a joint project of the Executive Center for Professionals and the Confederation of Overseas Filipino Workers, an organization of Filipino workers which boasts of 28,000 members in Hong Kong. This project not only aims to enable OFWs to pursue business ventures but it also meant to bolster family ties and strengthen the family.
