OFWs to OFEs

I am proposing to stop calling overseas workers as OFWs. Instead, maybe we can call them OFEs or Overseas Filipino Expats. Expat is the term we use for foreigners working in the country and any other country. Expat sometime denotes experts or skilled professional workers even if these foreign workers (in Philippines) have problems in communication. The capabilities, dedication and quality of Filipinos are equal if not better than foreign counterparts. This has been proven in all parts of the world already as evidenced by the continued preference of multinationals to get Filipino Expats whenever and wherever possible.

Also, why not call Caregivers as Healthcare Experts and domestic helpers as Homecare Specialists.
