Our Story
The founder of this company was greatly inspired by the dedicated and hardworking overseas Filipino workers! It was evident that many of them were driven by the desire to make sacrifices in order to secure a decent home for their families. A property they can call "my own". However, there is the undeniable fact that when working abroad or being married to foreigners, there is an expectation from those around you that you have the means to invest in real estate, leading to a barrage of tempting offers. Many of these offers promise significant returns with minimal investment effort. Many have fallen prey to engaging in real estate investments without sufficient knowledge, resulting in problematic properties that can jeopardize their family relationships. This inspiration led us to establish this service, drawing upon the distinctive financial expertise acquired over the years. With extensive experience as a Bank Real Estate Appraiser and Credit Investigator in the Philippines over numerous years, he has cultivated a deep comprehension of Philippine properties specifically catered to families encountering challenges as their members pursue opportunities overseas. Furthermore, over a decade of experience as a Foreign Bank Agency Services Representative in Japan specializing in remittance processing and financial advisory services has provided him with valuable insights. During this time, he actively engaged with Filipino communities in Japan, gaining firsthand knowledge of the difficulties faced by individuals working far away from their loved ones.This experience motivated him to create something truly exceptional.
How the word "SUTAA" is related to our mission?
At times, when you focus on helping others with your accumulated experience over the years, you may reflect on your origins. The author, hailing from the rural regions of southern Philippines and possessing Bisayan language roots, coined the term "Sutaa" to encourage judicious investment. "Sutaa" is a profound Bisaya term that denotes "to carefully verify." Interestingly, when transcribed in Japanese Katakana, "sutaa" or "スタア" can signify "STAR" in English. The author posits that when one is lost, gazing at the stars above can provide guidance. This aligns with their heartfelt mission to leverage their experience, insights, Financial and Real estate expertise to aid their kababayans with transparent, vital information, empowering them to make prudent decisions. Our Priority is to help Filipinos and individuals with affiliation in the Philippines to maximize their productive years in terms of financial seminars and real estate investment guidance.

Empower our OFWs in Japan with Financial Literacy Access
Recent studies have shed light on the intricate dynamics surrounding the financial habits and implications of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their families left behind. The analysis delves into the profound impact of OFWs’ spending patterns on the overall economic landscape, prompting a critical examination of whether the decision to seek employment abroad truly opens doors to sustainable financial prospects.
One of the key revelations from these studies is the stark reality that many OFWs dedicate their most productive years to toiling in foreign lands, only to return home in a state of financial and physical vulnerability. The toll of extended periods spent away from home often manifests in health issues, advanced age, disabilities, and a diminished capacity to contribute productively to the workforce upon their return. This predicament is compounded by the lack of substantial investments, savings, or social security provisions, leaving many in a precarious position of dependence.
Recognizing these challenges, SUTAA Assist envisions a community of empowered and productive Filipino workers in Japan—workers who are not only retained and thriving in their fields of expertise but are also equipped with financial literacy and entrepreneurial readiness that lead to long-term security and reintegration success. By guiding OFWs to convert their productive years abroad into a foundation for lasting wealth and career growth, SUTAA Assist seeks to reverse the common cycle of financial vulnerability and create a generation of globally competitive, purpose-driven Filipino professionals.
The findings underscore a pressing need for holistic intervention. While working abroad offers immediate income, without proper financial education, career guidance, and reinvestment planning, the long-term benefits diminish over time. Therefore, empowering Filipino workers with the knowledge, tools, and strategies to manage finances, enhance productivity, and prepare for reintegration becomes a critical mission. By doing so, we ensure that overseas employment serves not merely as a temporary solution—but as a launching pad for sustainable prosperity for Filipino families and communities.
