Profriends in Dubai
There are an estimated 700,000 Filipinos currently residing and working in the United Arab Emirates, constituting 6.8% of its total population. Dubai, one of its most populous cities, has approximately 450,000 Filipinos. In fact, it has long been a preferred work destination for many OFWs seeking better opportunities to build better lives for themselves and their families.
Part of an OFW’s dream in the Middle East is to eventually make smart investments that will secure their future when they return home to the Philippines for good. While in another country, they will also need the help and support of a strong community close to home who may guide them during their struggles and birth pains toward a securing their future.
The needs of our fellow OFWs in Dubai open an opportunity for Profriends to introduce its community…to bring about more Kapitbuhays who have the common goal of uplifting each other’s lives.
The community that will bring them closer to their dream
Addressing the need for a dynamic community in another country, Profriends has initiated PRO-ANGAT, an on-ground movement introduced first in Dubai dedicated to bring Filipinos together through a series of talks, seminars, and other activities. Through genuine care, empowerment, and shared purpose, Profriends, through PRO-ANGAT, hopes to convert fellow Filipinos to Kapitbuhays who will eventually help in realizing their dreams. The PRO-ANGAT movement serves as the Filipino community’s support network away from homeland, where the same spirit of bayanihan exists among its people.
Profriends, a Community Builder with a Heart
For twenty-six years, it has been at the core of Profriends to develop thriving communities through its properties in Cavite and Iloilo. Each development is designed to be accessible to major roads leading to the Metro, but still have the safe, secure, verdant space ideal for families and communities to grow. More than just structures, Profriends plans its developments with how communities and families may interact with each other. The company also supports initiatives like GalingPinas, an on-ground volunteer movement that aims to develop future leaders for a responsive and sustainable community.
