Abstract
This study looks at the three major determinants of the growth in OFW remittances, namely, the increased number of deployed Filipino workers categorized as either supply-side push factor or demand-side pull factor, deployment of higher-paid skilled and professional Filipino workers, and the greater access of OFW s to remittance channels of the Philippines. Examining the trends of these factors gives conclusions on how they affect the growing OFW remittances.
