Kakagaling lamang ng Team OWWA Overseas Workers Welfare Administration sa Cebu kung saan nakipagpulong tayo sa ating partner na Aboitiz InfraCapital para sa nalalapit na pagbubukas ng OFW Lounge Cebu.

Sa ilalim ng direktiba ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. at sa patnubay ni DMW Sec. Hans Leo J. Cacdac, nakatakda nating ilunsad ngayong buwan ang pasilidad na ito upang mas mapalapit ang mga serbisyo ng pamahalaan sa ating mga OFWs.

Bukod sa isang komportable at maayos na espasyo para sa ating mga OFW, maglalagay rin tayo ng OWWA e-Card facility sa lounge upang mas mapadali ang pagkuha ng kanilang e-Card at pag-access sa iba't ibang benepisyo at programa ng OWWA.

Ito ang magiging ikatlong OFW Lounge na inooperate ng OWWA sa ilalim ng programang Alagang OWWA kasunod ng mga OFW Lounge sa NAIA Terminal 1 at NAIA Terminal 3.

Taos-puso rin tayong nagpapasalamat kay First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos at Cebu Governor Pam S. Baricuatro sa kanilang suporta sa proyektong ito na naglalayong mapabuti ang kapakanan ng ating mga migranteng manggagawa.

Abangan ang pagbubukas ng OFW Lounge sa Cebu International Airport ngayong Hunyo! 🫶🇵🇭
