The Ninoy Aquino International Airport’s One-Stop-Shop (OSS) has assisted over 473,154 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) across all three of its terminals.
The government-led initiative helped OFWs who have just landed back home to the Philippines to lead them towards the step-by-step process to conduct the mandatory swab tests upon arrival as well as pinpointing their temporary isolation facilities until they get their quarantine certificates.

The OFWs, it said, may view the available quarantine facilities through monitoring charts at NAIA terminals provided by the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), and Department of Tourism (DOT), among other government agencies, as per reports from the Philippine News Agency.
The OSS is a joint government initiative that started on April 23 last year.
