Passage of dept of migrant workers measure pushed

SEN. Christopher Lawrence "Bong" Go on Monday honored overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) for their continuing sacrifices by pledging his full commitment in pushing for the passage of a measure that will create the Department of Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos (DMWOF).

"It is not easy to be alone in a foreign land and to be away from your family for a very long time. It is a showcase of unconditional love," he said. "Yet, I am sure those sacrifices will not be in vain as you will see the fruits of your labor through the smiles and warmth of your loved ones from here to wherever you are in the world."
