Mayor Joseph Arman C. Bauzon meet some of our OFW kabaleyans or Returning Overseas Filiipinos (ROF) for a courtesy call on January 7, 2021. They were assisted by Mr. Rogelio Montoya II, Public Employment Service Office Manager and Migrant Desk Officer Designate.
A total number of 418 ROF from Calasiao was already given assistance by the local government from May 2020 to December 2020 through the Hatid-Sundo Program of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), 54.55% of which was fetched by LGU and MDRRMO vehicles.
Aside from the global pandemic brought by COVID-19, loss of job due to closure of business establishments and companies, medical repatration, being maltreated and distressed were some of the reasons why our fellow kabaleyans flew back home. LGU Calasiao wishes to extend its assistance in every way with the help of the Calasiao OFW Family Association headed by Ms. Grace Cruz.
