Sorry but it has come to this. We heard some erring manning agencies have abandoned their seafarers in Manila. We will help our dear seafarers po but make no mistake, we will start NAMING and SHAMING these manning agencies who choose to look the other way.

If the job offer for countries like Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia or Thailand is “data encoder” or the like, please beware. You may be lured into a human trafficking ring. Please make sure you go through the legal process under the DMW/POEA/OWWA. Maging matalino, huwag magpaloko!

Visited OFWs in their hotel quarantine facilities. They are UAE OFWs who arrived at NAIA just before the travel ban on UAE arrivals imposed last May 15th. They were allowed entry into the PHL, subject to a 14-day hotel quarantine. I assured them of OWWA care and safe transport.

@boykape @teddyboylocsin They are in a PHL Labor Office shelter — 13 flats with 3 rooms per flat. Some OFW stayers have immigration or criminal cases, which account for return delays. Rest assured, we are working on their safe repatriation. For 2021, we have assisted 92,557 returnees from Saudi Arabia.
