their sufficient contribution of monetary remittances
towards the growth of Philippines economy.

Decile – are the score points which divide a distribution into (10)
ten equal parts.
Percentile – is the score points which divide a distribution into
(100) one hundred equal parts.
Conclusion
Based from the results from the D3, there are 30% of the
Overseas Filipino Workers who have an age of 32 years old and
below while 70% of which are 32 years old and higher.
In P85, 85% of the results showed that there are OFWs who still
work at the age of 52 years old and below while the remaining 15%
are those 52 years old and higher.
Therefore, the gathered data still satisfy the survey from 2018.
However, this does not represent all the OFW population, the data
we gathered are limited only to our fellow Grade 10 students.
