ICYMI: President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. pledged to extend various forms of government assistance not only to overseas Filipino workers but to their families as well.
Marcos credited OFWs for setting a good image of the country across the globe, noting that Filipinos are known as one of the most skilled, hardworking and caring people in the world.
“Ngayon ay hindi lamang natin tinitingnan ang mismong mga OFW, ang mismong mga nagtatrabaho abroad, kung hindi pati na ang inyong mga pamilya,” he said.Marcos then added: “Kasama na siguro diyan ay pinag-uusapan po natin ay iyong pabahay, iyong mga scholarship program, iyong mga iba’t ibang serbisyo at benepisyo na maibibigay natin dahil alam naman namin na kayo’y nagsasakripisyo at napakalaking bagay ng bunga ng inyong sakripisyo.
“Siguro, ‘yan na ang pinakamalaking pagbabago sa ating DMW na hindi lamang ang mismong OFW…pati na ang inyong mga pamilya ay titingnan natin ang kanilang kalagayan at kung ano man ang kanilang pangangailangan at sa lahat ng aming kakayahan ay ibibigay natin ang tulong para sa inyong mga pamilya.”From July through November this year, DMW chief Susan “Toots” Ople said the newly constituted department helped at least 766,290 Filipinos get jobs abroad.
