Overseas Workers Welfare Administration(OWWA)

October 5, 2020 Dear Ms. Alain April Canoy, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Oct 04, 2020 09:37:36 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch on benefits for repatriated OFWs. Check the official website of DOLE at dole.gov.ph or the OWWA at owwa.gov.ph for a listing of benefits and services for OFWs repatriated or returned to the Philippines due to the COVID-19. Information is available at the Facebook account of both agencies. The DSWD and the local government have extended government and private services for OFWs. Do note that most, if not all, applications for financial assistance are through electronic or internet submission so you have to open the above websites and learn about the requirements and eligibility to the programs. If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac at email: [email protected]. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response and should be made within FIFTEEN (15) calendar days from the date you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within THIRTY (30) calendar days from the date we received your review request. However, if you are still not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Office of the President under Administrative Order No. 22 (s. 2011). Thank you. Respectfully, Rosalia Susana B. Catapang OIC- Deputy Administrator FOI Decision Maker
