President Bongbong Marcos honors the bravery of the country’s OFWs and heroes on the celebration of National Heroes Day 2022 on August 29.
“Hindi rin natin kinakalimutan ang ating mga manggagawang mandarayuhan o mas kilala natin sa tawag na OFW – silang lahat ay nagsasakripisyo sa ibayong dagat, mabigyan lamang ng magandang kinabukasan ang kanilang mga mahal sa buhay,” said Marcos.
The Philippine President added that the government is doing everything in its power to ensure the safety of all Filipinos overseas, especially for those who are currently working in countries under constant conflict.
“Sa kabila ng mga pagsubok na kanilang hinaharap, sinisiguro natin na sila ay ligtas, lalo na ang mga naiipit sa mga kaguluhan sa mga bansang kanilang kinaroroonan,” added Marcos.
