The Philippine Statistic Authority (2017) reports an estimated number of 2.13 million Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) working abroad. This has increasingly grown through time with Filipinos facing economic uncertainty. The OFW phenomenon has created solutions as well as problems to every transnational family. Vital transitions brought about by the absence of a parent have affected the children who are left behind. This study explores the personality traits of the migrant children and their level of psychological resilience through the use of NEO PI-R and Resilience Scale. Pearson R reveals that Conscientiousness is significantly related to the General Resilience and all resilience domains except for perseverance. Openness to experience is significantly related to Equanimity and Self Reliance. Extraversion is also significantly related to Self –reliance, Meaningfulness and General Resilience. Neuroticism was negatively correlated with the resilience domain such as Self Reliance, Meaningfulness and to General Resilience itself. Conscientiousness is identified as a major predictor of general resilience using the Step Wise Multiple Regression method.
