World-renouned Filipino clothing brand Bench has also released its own Christmas tribute video. This time, it is dedicated to the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) who have been working abroad for their families and contribute themselves to our nation's economy. The online film has brought together participants from 14 different countries to create a version of Freddie Aguilar's timeless hit "Anak" as it features those that are most dear to these modern-day heroes - their children.

Crafted from performances of sixteen children of OFWs, "Bench - Anak" weaves together multiple languages and dialects to reflect multinational upbringings experienced by many Filipino families. Among them are Bench endorsers Rocco Nacino and Max Collins who know all too well of what it's like to have parents willing to sacrifice everything for their loved ones. It is indeed a testament to the deep love and bonds that exist between children and their parents and will serve as an inspiration to those who view it to spare a thought for those who sacrifices made it all possible.
