21 November 2024

Sending money to the Philippines during the Christmas season is a heartfelt way to show love and support to family and friends, even from afar. This article will walk you through the convenience of using OTT Remit for fast, secure transfers, allowing recipients to enjoy the holidays with comfort and joy.  

Arguably – no one loves Christmas as much as Filipinos do! Filipinos are known for having the longest Christmas celebration, and rightfully so. Christmas is all about spending time together, enjoying a meal together and participating in traditions.  For Filipinos living abroad, the holiday season means so much more than just gatherings and presents – it’s a time to reconnect with loved ones back home. Unfortunately, not everyone has the opportunity to reunite in person every year. But being far away doesn’t mean that you can’t show your love and care for those miles away. Send money to the Philippines this Christmas and let your family feel your presence through your thoughtful gesture.
