Truly caring for OFWs includes looking into their families’ welfare READ:
Time and time again, the contributions of millions of overseas Filipino workers have been highlighted as a “lifeline” of the economy. In times of crisis, we can count on their remittances to soften the blow on economically disadvantaged sectors. In search of greener pastures for their family, OFWs endure anxiety, depression, homesickness, even abuse or substandard working conditions in some cases, just to earn a living.
The President also used the occasion to tell OFWs that his administration is strengthening the Department of Migrant Workers , which is led by Secretary Susan Ople. It was not just “lip service” as the President outlined projects, scholarships, shelter, and other benefits for OFWs and their families. In fact, Ople has reported that the DMW will start filling up 1,000 positions. There will be 16 regional officers and four overseas labor posts to better serve the OFWs, wherever they may be.
