The OWWA will support OFWs who have been affected by Hong Kong’s travel ban.
The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) is prepared to help overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who may be impacted by Hong Kong’s travel restrictions.
In a Laging Handa press conference on Thursday, OWWA administrator Hans Leo Cacdac said they are monitoring the situation regarding the likelihood of Filipino employees becoming stuck.
At the Laging Handa briefing, he remarked, “We are now watching the airports for people who may be affected.”
All OFWs, whether agency-hired or Balik Manggagawa, will receive support, according to Cacdac.
“However, in general, recruitment companies have been cooperative and have resources to assist their OFWs who have become stranded and are unable to continue their journey, among other things.” However, there are some returning workers who are not represented by an agency. We’ll most likely assist them. We will assist them in providing shelter, food, lodging, and transportation if there is no accommodation in the NCR (National Capital Region),” Cacdac stated.
In response to the escalating instances of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) Omicron variant, Hong Kong ordered a two-week ban on inbound flights from the Philippines, Australia, Canada, France, India, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, and the United States from January 8 to 21.
Household service workers make up the bulk of Filipinos employed in China’s semi-autonomous territory.
