Families of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), who were affected by series of earthquakes in Mindanao, can get financial assistance from the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA).
“We will help OFW families gravely affected by the earthquakes. We are just determining the number of OFW families affected,” OWWA Administrator Hans Leo Cacdac told Manila Bulletin.
“P3,000 cash assistance for active members’ families in worst hit areas,” Cacdac added.
The areas that will benefit from OWWA financial aid will still be determined by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).
A magnitude 6.5 quake hit Tulunan town in Cotabato last week. Another 6.3 quake happened that week with the same town as epicenter.
At least 22 were killed and hundreds injured as a result. (TN)
