DTI to OFWs: INVEST BACK AT HOME. Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez called on Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) to invest back to the Philippines as demand for work abroad may not be an all-time high. Speaking at the 6th OFW and Family Summit at the World Trade Center on 15 November, Sec. Lopez shared to returning OFWs and their families his so-called 7Ms towards entrepreneurial success, namely mindset change, mastery and competence, mentoring, market linkage, money access, machine and models. These may help them roll out idea-based, demand-driven and innovation-led businesses at home in the industries of food, franchising, agriculture and services. He also emphasized that OFWs’ distinguishing characteristic of being hardworking is the same element that will lead them to better quality of life. photo supplied
