THE Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) on Tuesday launched a one-stop center for Filipino migrant workers.
The OFW Aksyon Center’s “full cycle” support for overseas Filipino workers includes services beginning from their departure from the country, throughout their overseas employment, all the way to their return and reintegration with their families back home, the DMW said in a statement.
Its key services include the Balik-Manggagawa processing, reintegration support services, legal assistance, and other necessary support through the DMW AKSYON Fund.
The Center also offers services from other government agencies such as the Social Security System, Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, Technical Education, Skills Development Authority, and departments of Agriculture, Health, Labor, Trade, Tourism, Science and Technology and Social Welfare.
The Center also has a café offering free coffee and snacks to visiting OFWs and their families.
It is located inside a former Landbank building in Makati City. — Kyle Aristophere T. Atienza
