OWWA in Cebu City, Philippines

The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) 7 celebrated its 30th Founding Anniversary by recognizing four of its institutional partners in Cebu.

The Apostleship of the Sea-Cebu, Stella Maris Seafarers' Center, Center for Overseas Women-Cebu, and ECMI-CBCP Visayas were given tokens of appreciation for their help and cooperation with OWWA.

Through them, OFWs receive financial support and advice over the years.

There are about 120,000 active OFW members of OWWA in Region 7, who have benefited from these NGOs.

OWWA and its NGO partners have been responsive to the welfare of their members and their families.

"On behalf of Region 7, I wish to thank all of you for your valuable support and continued services in uplifting the lives and well-being of our modern-day heroes, the OFWs, and their families," Wilfreda Misterio, OWWA 7 director, said.
