Overseas Workers Welfare Administration(OWWA)

December 1, 2022 Dear Mr. Christopher Mangila, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Dec 01, 2022 12:52:10 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for an update of your DOLE-AKAP Application. Mr. Mangila be correctly informed that the DOLE-AKAP is a program of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). Therefore is appropriate that you follow-up directly with the DOLE Regional Office at Calamba, Laguna or to the nearest DOLE Provincial Office in Cavite. The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) is no longer with DOLE but with the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW). We prioritize providing assistance of our member-OFWs and their families in receiving OWWA programs and benefits. Dapat maging wise na OFW. Magtiwala at maniwala sa information na binibigay ng mga officials and authorized employees of government agencies.
