According to Philippine Statistics Authority, there are over 2 million OFWs around the world. Most Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who have worked abroad for a long stretch want to go straight home from the airport. This was the case for 40-year-old Renante Bendaña, a Sales Support Engineer in Jeddah Saudi Arabia.
After his 15-hour flight last December, Bendaña went straight to the Ford Cainta dealership to purchase his first family car, a gift for his loved ones he had saved for after years of working hard overseas.
Through the help of Ford OFW Assist Program, Bendaña discovered the ease of this online and hassle-free process that allows Filipinos working abroad to buy a Ford vehicle in the Philippines. The program also offers a flexible financing initiative exclusively to OFWs.
Hassle-FREE Processing
Submitting a document oversees is a tedious process. Bendaña explained how he is grateful for the service he received from the Ford OFW Assist Program. He recalled how he was pleasantly surprised by the convenience of the online platform and support of sales consultant from Ford Cainta.
“In less than a day, I got a response from Ford. I knew then that they were very attentive to our needs, especially Marty. He was focused on handling our papers and he really made the process a lot easier. You can see his will and desire to help us achieve our dream car, and for that I am very much satisfied,” said Bendaña.
Meanwhile, Lance Mosley, Ford Philippines’ Managing Director, said, “It’s humbling to hear the many different stories of our OFWs. They have given up a lot to provide a better future for their families, and Ford acknowledges this. Through the OFW Assist Program, we’re helping these brave men and women purchase a dream car that is earned through the hard work of these OFWs and the unconditional love they have for their families.”
Ford’s latest OFW Assist program allows you to process your application online in a more convenient way. Aside from the dedicated customer-service hotline, OFWs can conveniently book a test drive for family members in the Philippines. You can also get an easy online loan applications of Ford vehicles at EastWest Bank.
