As the country commemorates the National Day of Migrant Workers every 7th day of June, Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong’ Go on Monday honored overseas Filipino workers for their continuing sacrific
es in order to provide better lives for their families.
In a message, Go acknowledged the OFWs’ great sacrifices working abroad to provide a comfortable life for their families. “Yet, I am sure those sacrifices will not be in vain as you will see the fruits of your labor through the smiles and warmth of your loved ones from here to wherever you are in the world,” he added.
The proposed department will be primarily mandated to formulate, recommend and implement national policies, plans, programs and guidelines that protect overseas Filipinos, including OFWs, as well as promote their interests and resolve issues concerning them in a timely and effective manner.
