Golden Haven provides more income opportunities for OFWs

Golden Haven has launched Kabayan Rewards,
a referral program that presents significant income
opportunities to OFWs worldwide.

The Overseas Filipino Worker has long been a symbol of the enduring values and enterprising spirit of the Filipino. Their persistent hard work to help support their families back home has done immeasurable good for the country. 

Consider how OFWs’ contributions to our national coffers could help mitigate the economic fallout from a raging pandemic. The latest figures from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) reveal that overseas Filipino workers’ cumulative cash remittances amounted to $16.616 billion in the first half of 2021 alone. However one looks at it, OFWs, now numbering 2.2M, are helping reboot the economy despite intermittent lockdowns.

To show gratitude for their immense sacrifices, Golden Haven, a leading name in the deathcare industry, has launched Kabayan Rewards, a referral program that presents significant income opportunities to OFWs worldwide. This encourages OFWs to refer any number of their fellow Filipino workers to Golden Haven and spur them to invest in its wide array of products—memorial lots, columbarium vaults, family estates, and even professionally curated mausoleums called “The Golden Shrines”.
