Hello, Kabayan!
Welcome to TaiwanOFW.com! I’m an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) currently living and working in Taipei. Like many of you, I’ve made sacrifices to be here, leaving behind my family and the comforts of home to pursue better opportunities for a brighter future. My decision to work here wasn’t always an easy one—I took the first opportunity available and have since been learning to adapt to this new chapter in my life.
Adjusting to life far from home is tough, and the feeling of being homesick and disconnected is something I know all too well. Thankfully, I’ve discovered my passion and skills in using online platforms (after going through TESDA classes), which has given me a way to reach out to others, even from afar.
With this in mind, I decided to create this portal. This website is still new, but my goal is clear—I want to build a space where we, Filipinos living in Taiwan, can come together. This isn’t just a regular website; it’s a digital home for our kababayans, where we can meet, share stories, learn from one another, and support each other.
How It All Began
One day, I felt really homesick and started wishing for a way to connect with other Pinoys here in Taiwan. I thought, “Why not make a site for us?”
At first, it was just a small idea. I wanted to write tips and share news. But then I realized it could be more. This could be a place where we can help each other, find useful information, and even feel closer to home.
Since this site is new, there’s still a lot to improve. But with your support, I believe we can grow together!
Our Goals
Here’s what I hope for TaiwanOFW.com to be now and in the future:
- Connect Pinoys in Taiwan – Help Filipinos here feel less lonely by creating a friendly online space to share stories and experiences.
- Provide Helpful Info – Share tips, news, and guides to make life in Taiwan easier for all of us.
- Celebrate Our Culture – Show the beauty of being Filipino by telling inspiring stories and talking about what makes us proud.
- Support Fellow OFWs – Give advice on saving money, finding jobs, and other important topics.
- Grow Together – With your ideas and suggestions, this site can become something truly special for every Pinoy in Taiwan.

A Simple Summary
TaiwanOFW.com is a new community website for Filipinos living in Taiwan. I created it to bring us together and give us a home where we can share, learn, and grow.
I want this site to be useful for all of us. It’s a place where we can find information, connect with each other, and celebrate what it means to be Filipino. Even though this site is still small, my dream is for it to grow with your help.
Always remember, you’re not alone in this OFW life. Together, we can make Taiwan feel like a second home.
Be Part of the Family
Using my skills in creating content and managing online platforms, I’m working hard to make this site a useful source of information and connection for all of us. Whether it’s through sharing tips, guides, or community news, I hope this platform will help make life a bit easier and more enjoyable for every fellow Pinoy here in Taiwan.
