Senator Cynthia Villar called on Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their families to register for the upcoming 12th OFW and Family Summit to be held November 10 at The Tent, Vista Global South, C5 Road, Las Piñas City.
Villar said the theme for this year’s summit is “Masaganang Kabuhayan Para sa OFWs and Families.”
“My family and many OFWs always look forward to this event because it has evolved into an occasion where OFWs and their families gather and interact with private and government institutions for concerns ranging from access to financial services, social benefits, legal assistance, among others,” Villar said.
“We hope to inculcate financial literacy among OFWs, which will equip them with the necessary tools to grow their money in their homeland,” also Villar, a known advocate of the rights and welfare of migrant workers.
During the one-day summit which starts at 8 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m., participants will be taught to wisely invest hard-earned money and to avoid falling victims to human trafficking, illegal recruitment, and investment scams.
Those who can register are OFWs and members of their family like their spouses and children, parents and siblings.
To join the raffle draw, one must be registered. Raffle prizes include among others, Camella house and lot, motorcycles and Kabuhayan showcases from All Day Home.
