President Bongbong Marcos met with the Filipino community in the United States and vowed that the Philippine government is working on measures that will ensure Filipinos who are working abroad can come back home and retire from the Philippines.
“It’s my hope that some of you will come home for good and retire in a much better Philippines — a Philippines with better airports, Philippines with better roads, better airports, better internet, better governance. ‘Yun ang aking pinapangarap,” Marcos said in his speech.
“And that’s why that is what my administration is working for,” he added.
Marcos assured OFWS that they will do their best to make sure that their rights are protected.
“We are strongly committed to pursue the third pillar of our foreign policy, which is assistance to Filipino nationals,” Marcos said.
“Let them see for themselves what the Philippines is about, what is our culture, what is our history. I’m sure the first and second and third generation Filipino-Americans are more than happy to learn about their proud Philippine ancestry,” the chief executive added.
“Sooner or later, we will be able to welcome you back home to the Philippines, especially those who have reacquired their Filipino citizenship,” Marcos explained.
