4,274 OFWs benefit from P10.6M OWWA rebates

More than P10.6 million in rebates had been released by the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWAA) for its long-time members.

Some 4,274 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who have been members for 10 years have benefited in the first week of the program’s rollout, said OWWA administrator Hans Leo Cacdac.

The initial beneficiaries are those who have given five or more contributions to the agency, and have not availed themselves of previous benefit from OWWA.

OWWA has allotted P1 billion for the program intended to benefit 556,000 OFWs who may claim between P941.25 to P13,177.50, depending on the number of their contributions, the report said.
