The Philippine Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) is providing up to Php 1 million business funding to the family members of OFWs in the country.
Under the OWWA’s “Tulong PUSO” Program, the government will provide funding up to P1 million to be used for business investment for OFW family members so that they are not just relying on the remittances of their loved ones.
