Sir/Madam, I am a stranded OFW from U.A.E. I was supposed to go back last March 19, 2020. But the UAE government announced that they will close their airport to all expats until further notice due to Covid 19 pandemic. I applied for the DOLE-AKAP last April 24, 2020 and only just received an email confirmation that its for evaluation. After that, I did not receive any more reply or feedback from Owwa. Please help. We are still here in Manila and waiting for the UAE goverment to open its airport and allow inbounds flights coming from Philippines. Thank you. Mitz
