All wannabe entrepreneurs among overseas Filipino workers for at least five years have until June 15 to take part in the 2026 Likha Global business plan contest where top prizes are at stake.
The Linangin ang Kakayahan sa Kabuhayan Award or Likha Global Business Plan Competition is organized annually by the Department of Migrant Workers as part of its reintegration program for OFWs. It aims to help OFWs set up businesses that could provide them a stable income on their return home to the Philippines.

An announcement just published in the Facebook page of the Migrant Workers Office in Hong Kong says the competition which opened last month, offers a top prize of Php500,000 as seed capital for the national winner.
Last year, an OFW from Qatar, Marisol Amihan, won the top prize of Php700,000 for her sustainable farm development proposal. First runner-up Catherine Espiriti, a domestic worker in Kuwait, received Php500,000 for her business plan for goat raising while second runner-up Jimmy Chavez, Jr. won Php400,000 for his nipa palm wine project.
Thirty-eight finalists, including three domestic workers from Hong Kong, each took home Php100,000 for their respective business plans.
