Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles said the inter-agency task force has allowed the accommodation of OFWs in hotels based on an amended resolution. The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration has been directed to issue the proper certification to assist the OFWs on temporary lodging arrangements.
“For this purpose, OWWA is hereby authorized to issue the certifications it may deem appropriate to the concerned OFWs. Ibig sabihin nito ang mga distressed OFWs puwede ma-accommodate sa hotels or similar establishments ,” he said. The latest OFW assistance came following President Duterte’s declaration of an enhanced community quarantine in Luzon over the spread of the coronavirus disease.
