About FILus

For every OFW, everywhere.

What FILus is

FILus is a social network built exclusively for Filipino Overseas Workers (OFWs) worldwide. There are over 10 million OFWs across more than 100 countries, sending love and remittances back to families in the Philippines — and they deserve a single, safe home online of their own.

Our mission

Connect, protect, and empower every OFW, wherever they are.

• Connect kabayan with family, friends, and community in their host country.
• Protect them from scams, illegal recruitment, and unsafe situations abroad.
• Empower them with verified jobs, AI guidance, and direct access to government services.

Features overview

• Kabayan Feed & Friends — share life abroad and find people from your hometown or host country.
• Verified Jobs Board — overseas opportunities sourced from DMW-licensed agencies. We flag scams; you never pay placement fees.
• AI Coach — Filipino-context advice on contracts, taxes, remittance, and culture shock.
• Contract Reviewer & Scam Detector — paste a contract or message, get instant red flags.
• Travel PH — discover the Philippines you've been missing, with a different featured destination every month.
• Gov Services Hub — direct links to OWWA, DMW, DFA, BI, SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG.
• SOS Button — one tap reaches our welfare network when you're in trouble abroad.

Independent platform

FILus is an independent platform built by a small team of Filipinos at home and abroad. We are not affiliated with any Philippine government agency (including OWWA, DMW, DFA, SSS, PhilHealth, or Pag-IBIG). We link to official agency services and we publish information from public sources, but we are not the government.

Community standards

FILus is a respectful, family-friendly space. See our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for the full rules and your rights.
