Imagine a future where Filipino moms and families don’t have to be separated just for a paycheck. 


At Concertina, we’re turning that vision into a reality by connecting skilled Filipino professionals with global clients—without the need to leave home and, crucially, without placement fees. We give the top 1% of Filipino professionals an opportunity to work with premium clients while working from home without missing family milestones and compromising their children’s younger years to earn a decent living. We’re building a future where families can stay together, work-life balance is attainable, and professional growth doesn’t come at the cost of separation.

The Heartbreaking Choice: Sacrifices Made for Stability

Thousands of Filipinos—mothers, fathers, sons, daughters—make the painful decision to leave home daily, driven by the dream of a better life for their families.


According to the Department of Migrant Workers, about 6,700 Filipinos depart the Philippines each day. Known as Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), these individuals carry the weight of their sacrifices across continents, each story marked by longing and resilience.


But what if that sacrifice didn’t have to happen?

Ethical Offshoring: A Vision for Filipino Families Staying Together

Imagine a Philippines where families can stay together and prosper without the need to go abroad. At Concertina, we are bridging the gap between local talent and global opportunity, allowing Filipinos to build rewarding careers from the comfort of their homes. We’re an ethical offshoring company committed to transforming the future of work for Filipino professionals. Nobody has to leave home to provide a fulfilling life for their families in the Philippines. 


Our mission is clear: to enable skilled professionals to work with top global clients while living at home, without burdensome placement fees, costly housing, or the loneliness that accompanies life overseas. 


From bookkeepers to marketers and customer service representatives, Concertina proudly provides Filipino professionals with the opportunity to earn a fair wage and grow in their careers without leaving their homeland.

The Power of Online Work: A Lifeline for Filipino Families

Now, more than ever, technology bridges borders, and skilled Filipino talent should have access to the global workforce without sacrificing family ties. Online work is a modern lifeline that allows Filipino professionals to maintain stability, experience fulfilling career growth, and provide for their loved ones—all without stepping foot on a plane.


We connect these professionals to ethical clients who value integrity, respect, and work-life balance, ensuring each team member is supported professionally and personally. With remote work options, flexible schedules, and a nurturing environment, Concertina is committed to building careers that allow Filipinos to excel without ever saying goodbye to their families.

From OFW to Concertina’s Senior Creative Director— Meet Tyrel

Meet Tyrel, our brilliant creative director. Tyrel is in charge of leading creative processes from concept to completion. Their department, the Creatives Team, creates visuals, graphics, videos, and reels for clients and in-house posts. 


Before working from home, Tyrel worked as an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW), being away from home for years. With three young children, Tyrel endured years working on an oil mining rig, working midnight shifts amidst imminent danger. 


Today, Tyrel works from home and proudly leads a team of creative professionals. By working with Concertina, Tyrel could pursue his hobbies and upskill, as well as work with a supportive team culture geared toward helping heart-centered businesses.
