Sa gitna ng tumitinding tensyon dulot ng US–Israel–Iran conflict, agad na umaksyon ang OWWA Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) upang tiyakin ang kaligtasan at kapakanan ng ating mga kababayang manggagawa sa ibayong dagat.

Kasama si OWWO III Mani Lyne, personal kong pinangunahan ang pag-asikaso kay John Mark M. Almarez, tubong Dalahican, Oriental Mindoro at isang seafarer na naapektuhan ng krisis matapos hindi pahintulutang makadaan ang kanilang barko sa Strait of Hormuz. Dahil sa mataas na panganib sa lugar, nagpasya ang kanilang shipping agency na sila ay i-airlift palabas upang masiguro ang kanilang kaligtasan, at kalaunan ay matagumpay na nairepatriate pabalik ng Pilipinas.

Alinsunod sa direktiba ni DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac at OWWA Administrator Atty. Patricia Yvonne “PY” Caunan, agad nating ipinagkaloob ang War Conflict Cash Assistance na nagkakahalaga ng ₱10,000.00 bilang paunang suporta sa kanyang pagbangon.

Ang Owwa Mimaropa ay nananatiling nakatuon sa agarang pagtugon sa pangangailangan ng ating mga OFW, lalo na sa panahon ng krisis. Patuloy nating pinapalakas ang ating mga mekanismo upang matiyak na walang OFW ang maiiwan, saan man sila naroroon sa mundo.

NOODLE MAKING TRAINING GINANAP SA OCCIDENTAL MINDORO!

Bilang pag gunita sa Women's Month, nagdaos ng isang Skills Training ang OWWA MIMAROPA sa San Jose Occidental Mindoro noong Marso 27, 2026 na dinaluhan ng mga OFW at kanilang pamilaya na gustong matuto ng pag gawa ng noodles at canton na ipangnenegosyo.

Tinuruan ang mga OFWs na dumalo ng tamang proseso ng paggawa ng sariwang noodles at canton—mula sa paghahanda ng mga sangkap, tamang pagmamasa ng dough, hanggang sa wastong paghiwa at pagproseso nito. Ibinahagi rin ang mahahalagang kaalaman sa food safety, packaging, at simpleng costing upang matiyak na magiging de-kalidad ito.

Lubos ang pasasalamat ng OWWA MIMAROPA sa lahat ng kababaihang OFW na dumalo at nakiisa sa nasabing aktibidad. Nawa’y magsilbi itong inspirasyon sa lahat ng kababaihan na nais mapaunlad ang kanilang sarili at ang kanilang mga pamilya ngayong buwan ng kababaihan.

Empowering Women, Strengthening Families 💜

Today, we proudly joined the Owwa Romblon Women’s Month Celebration alongside our inspiring OWWA scholars. This gathering is a reminder that empowered women are at the heart of resilient migrant worker communities and strong OFW families.

From our modern-day heroes abroad to the mothers, daughters, and sisters who keep the home fires burning—women continue to shape the future with courage, sacrifice, and leadership. Their empowerment is not just a goal, but a necessity in ensuring the welfare, protection, and holistic development of our migrant workers and their loved ones.

Sa bawat kwento ng tagumpay ng ating OFWs, may isang matatag na babae na patuloy na lumalaban at nagbibigay inspirasyon. 💪✨

Happy Women’s Month! Patuloy nating itaguyod ang karapatan, dignidad, at kakayahan ng bawat kababaihan. 🌸
