The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) commended a Bataan mayor for helping distressed overseas Filipino workers.
Samal Mayor Alex Acuzar received the certificate of commendation from OWWA Region 3 Director Falconi Millar during a recent ceremony in Pampanga.
“This certificate is awarded for your laudable efforts in promoting the welfare of the OFWs and their families in your jurisdiction. Your invaluable support and assistance to our OFWs and their families, your dedication and hard work contributed immensely to the efficient delivery of services to your constituent OFWs,” read the commendation.
Samal municipal administrator Jay Lat said constituents have directly asked assistance from the mayor for their OFW relatives who are saddled with financial difficulties and other job-related problems.
