| 1.
| What are the objectives of the Search?
|
|
| | | | | |
|
| •
| Through the Search, BPI wishes to extend to the children of Expat Pinoys the pride and honor already accorded to our fellow countrymen, especially the parents, who are working overseas for their families.
|
| •
| The Search brings the Bank and the public together in doing their share to nurture this important sector of the society: the Expat Pinoys (OFWs) and their families.
|
| •
| This is also another way for the Bank to stir in the consciousness of Expat Pinoy children the need to give importance to the sacrifices being made by their parents. For the parents, it is a great achievement seeing their children finish school, more so receiving recognition from prestigious agencies of the society, such as BPI.
