Labi ng 88 OFWs mula Saudi Arabia, naiuwi na sa Pilipinas
Naiuwi na sa Pilipinas ang mga labi ng 88 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) mula sa Saudi Arabia.
Personal na nagbigay-pugay si Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin, Jr. sa 88 OFWs sa Villamor Airbase, araw ng Linggo (July 19).
Nagparating ng pakikiramay si Locsin sa naulilang pamilya ng mga OFW at inalala ang kanilang mga sakripisyo.
“This is a matter close to my heart. I know the fear, the risk and the deprivation that Overseas Filipino Workers have to endure in order to seek a better life for their families and loved ones,” pahayag ng kalihim.
Katuwang ng DFA sa naturang repatriation ang Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) at Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA).
“I assure our people that the Department of Foreign Affairs and its embassies and consulates abroad will do whatever it takes to bring our distressed Overseas Filipinos home – on their feet or on their backs,” pagtitiyak pa ni Locsin.
