The House of Representatives will help repatriate more than 100,000 overseas Filipino Workers stranded abroad by augmenting funds needed for their return to the country.
“We can include the augmentation in the proposed ‘Bayanihan 2’ or ‘We Recover as One’ law, which we hope to approve together with the Senate after we open our second regular session on Monday,” Defensor vowed. “We have to get all of our workers who have been rendered jobless by the COVID-19 pandemic home to be with their loved ones. We can appropriate in Bayanihan 2 additional funds for their repatriation and reintegration once they are here,” he said.
