LBC Connects OFWs in Bahrain

According to the most recent figures, it is estimated that there are 10.4 million Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) employed in over 27 countries across the world, with 2.8 million of them based in the Middle East. This figure is a testament to the adaptability, diligence, and competence of the Filipino, as well as their selflessness in providing for their families.

In order to better serve the needs of these modern-day heroes, LBC Express – the largest courier, cargo, and money remittance service company in the Philippines – recently opened their first branch in the island nation of Bahrain. Executives of Bahraini partner HAA Alaali Ventures were on-hand at the launch event, along with LBC Express’ chairman Carlos Araneta, president Fernando Araneta, senior vice-president of international operations Rene Fuentes, and guest of honor Sahid S. Glang, the Philippine Ambassador to Bahrain.

“There are approximately 65,000 Filipinos living in Bahrain, and by connecting with each of them, we also provide them the opportunity to connect with their loved ones at home,” Araneta enthused. “It can be difficult to live overseas, but we are proud of how LBC has continued to bridge the gap between families,” he further noted. Special introductory rates on shipping were then announced, to the appreciation of the Filipino community present.

In order to round out their services, LBC likewise partnered with Zenj Exchange in Bahrain, to offer the most competitive money remittance rates to the Philippines.
