MANILA, Philippines — Filipino families with overseas Filipino worker (OFW) relatives are observed to have more leisure activities and own more gadgets compared to those without, according to a study conducted by market research consulting firm Synergy Business Consultancy.
OFW families are more inclined to eat out, socialize, travel, go to the mall, purchase gadgets, and do recreational activities, as well as allot a budget for charitable acts.
“Because they have higher purchase capacity, more of those with OFW families engage in certain leisure activities compared to those without. For example, 43 percent of respondents with OFW relatives go malling while only 32 percent of respondents without an OFW relative had this as one of their leisure activities.
The only similar behavior observed is media consumption,” shares Synergy managing director Germaine Reyes. The research noted that both groups like to watch TV, listen to the radio, and read newspapers.
