MANILA, December 9, 2024 – Even if the 2024 report of JobStreet with Boston Consulting Group and The Network that surveyed 150,000 respondents from 188 countries reveals that the number of Filipinos who want to work abroad is down big time from 96 percent in 2018 to 80 percent this year, the fact remains that the Filipino population living and/or working outside of the Philippines still stands at around 10 million. That number is larger than the individual populations of more than half of the countries in Europe. Let that sink in.
This is why TFC – the flagship global multimedia network of ABS-CBN and iWantTFC– the world’s largest Filipino streaming service present in over 200 countries – continue to serve the Filipinos wherever they may be. One of the best things that these platforms do is to connect that 10-million strong diaspora via a media bridge where their stories from their new homes can be shared, thus promoting awareness, understanding, connections and meaningful action.
Hence, TFC and iWantTFC partnered with VideoGaga and Nomads Global Studios to present “Home Away From Home with Carlo Velasco”, a travel and lifestyle show that celebrates Filipino stories abroad as it chronicles Filipino communities all over the world and explores cultural exchanges of Filipinos in their homes away from home.
Hosted by journalist and entrepreneur Carlo Velasco, who has been living in Madrid, Spain for over seven years, the show serves as a platform to promote Filipino talents and businesses and to empower the global Filipino community.
“Home Away From Home” airs Saturdays globally on TFC Cable and Satellite, www.iwanttfc.com, and IPTV VOD worldwide on the following schedules: Europe and Middle East: 3:45PM Madrid, 2:45PM London, 5:45PM Saudi; US and Canada: 4:05PM Pacific; Asia: 4:10PM Hong Kong/Singapore; and Guam: 6:10PM Guam.
