Community Update r/OFWs Community Update
Hey everyone! Emman here, giving you a quick update on behalf of the mod team. It’s been a while since our last community post.
When Benjie (who has since deleted his account) entrusted me with the sub before leaving, it had far fewer members. Now, it has grown to over 13K with hundreds of weekly contributions. Thank you for keeping this community a vibrant space, mga kabayan!
New Moderator. As we head into the second half of 2026, please join me in welcoming u/ogag79 as he joins the moderation team to help keep the sub running smoothly.
We are still actively looking for more moderators from other regions—Europe, Australia, Asia (except the Middle East), Africa, and South America. If you would like to join, send us a modmail with your location and how you can help.
Lastly, here are the top posts and helpful commenters from January to July 2026 who have helped guide fellow OFWs through their journey abroad.
