The online party was organized by Warpeace Martinez Arnold, who used to be based in the United Arab Emirates.

“Our online celebration was just a simple act of gratitude from the OFWs whom Tatay Digong never forgot during his term. Tatay worked with Senator Bong Go to ensure that all OFWs were heard and cared for.

We wish Tatay Digong a long and healthy life, and we’re so lucky he spent some of it serving our country and helping us.”
