OWWA okays establishment of 'Department of Overseas Workers'

The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) chief on Monday said she is open to the idea of putting up the Department of Overseas Workers (DOW) that will solely cater to the needs of all the Overseas Filipinos Workers (OFWs) worldwide.

“For us, for as long as it will benefit the OFWs, who are our main client and beneficiaries, there is no problem. If these reforms result to better service for OFWs, we are okay with it,” Administrator Carmelita Dimzon said.
