Founded in 1997, The Bantay OCW Foundation has stayed true to its one goal: the improvement of the lives of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) worldwide. This objective has been Bantay OCW Foundation’s vital moral compass throughout its history.  

The foundation’s public service program, Bantay OCW with Ms. Susan K., is the country’s longest running multi-awarded public service program. The program has withstood the test of time as an ally to OFWs by addressing the struggles and challenges that these brave Filipinos face abroad.

Since its inception, the Bantay OCW Foundation has been instrumental in providing support to thousands of OFWs, whether land- or sea-based, in times of need. Bantay OCW Foundation’s selfless devotion to these Filipino heroes is what helped it earn recognition in television and radio. 

Bantay OCW with Ms. Susan K. has also claimed numerous prestigious awards, including the Best Public Service Program. It has earned a place in the Catholic Mass Media Awards and Gawad Tanglaw Awards’ Hall of Fame, with Ms. Susan K. as Best TV & Radio Public Service Program Host. The program has also been honored twice in the KBP Golden Dove Awards Hall of Fame roster.

Through thick and thin, Bantay OCW Foundation Inc. has stood firm to its main objective. Even now, 27 years later, its commitment to public service remains strong. 

As it marks 27 years of service, the Bantay OCW Foundation, in partnership with the INQUIRER family, reaffirms its commitment to serving Overseas Filipinos for years to come.
