The Department of Migrant Workers welcomed the arrival of 49 distressed overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and two children from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia via Philippine Airlines flight PR655 at the NAIA Terminal 1 this morning.
DMW officer-in-charge and undersecretary Hans Cacdac welcomed the new batch of repatriates.
“The OFWs were provided P50,000 in financial assistance from the DMW,” the department said.
The DMW also added that the overnight hotel accommodations, as well as transit and transportation arrangements to their respective home provinces, will be shouldered by the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration or OWWA.
“The welcome activity is being conducted by the DMW in celebration of its 2nd Founding Anniversary today, 30 December 2023,” the DMW said.
