Trivia about the year 2000, the year 2000 was considered as the year of the Overseas Filipino Workers or OFW's, they were reagrded as the country's modern day heroes not only because of their contribution to the country's economy but by the way they project the Filipinos as a world class workforce. By virtue of Proclamation No. 243 signed by President Joseph Ejercito Estrada proclaimed the year 2000 as the year of OFW's

In more ways than one, their expertise in their fields of endeavor coupled with hard work and determination have earned the respect and clamor for their services by foreign employers.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.philippine-trivia.com/History/The-Year-2000-as-the-Year-of-OFWs.html">The honor bestowed upon the overseas Filipino workers reaffirms the government's sincerity to attribute well-meaning accolade to these bunch of hardworking and selfless people who continue to earn respect and acknowledgement all over the world. Undeniably, they are considered assets both to their foreign employers and their 'kababayans' as well.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.philippine-trivia.com/History/The-Year-2000-as-the-Year-of-OFWs.html"><DIV title="" class="jwts_tabbertab "><H2><A name="advtab" href="javascript:alert('This link contains javascript.
