Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) can now report abuse through a mobile application launched by the Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (POEA).
POEA administrator Bernard Olalia said the “Abizo OFW App” will “determine the accurate number of OFWs, including the information on their deployment location, their employers, as well as track their working conditions.”
