00:00 To all OFWs who want to stay in the Philippines, you can earn while helping the tourism industry.

00:07 The government has a program to train you in the possible businesses.

00:12 And Maris Umali got it right.

00:14 Greener pastures is usually the reason why our countrymen are moving abroad.

00:23 But there are overseas Filipino workers who are also returning to their country.

00:28 They were the ones who were helped by the program of the Department of Tourism and Department of Migrant Workers,

00:32 the Balikbayani sa Turismo Program.

00:35 The goal of this is to give opportunities to our countrymen,

00:40 our returning OFWs, to have various skills in the tourism industry

00:46 so that they can have an economic opportunity when they return to the Philippines.

00:52 You can choose different training programs depending on the interest and ability of the returning OFWs,

00:59 such as micro-retail tourism seminar, farm tourism trainings, community-based culinary,

01:05 homestay training, tour guiding, foreign language speaking,

01:10 and OFW Teach-It-Forward Program for those who have not yet graduated,

01:14 who have 10 years of experience as a manager,

01:16 and who are ready to be part of the pool of resource speakers or trainers of the Department of Tourism.

01:22 Some OFWs were helped by the Tourism Department.

01:25 Keisel has been an OFW in Qatar for almost 10 years.

01:28 And that's where she met her husband.

01:31 In Qatar, it's not a lifetime.

01:37 We really go back and forth as OFWs.

01:41 We thought, what can we do for a living when we go back?

01:46 So what business? To be sustainable, and not just us.

01:52 If we want, we won't just be rich.

01:57 How can we help the community, the farmers, and at the same time, our OFWs?

02:06 They thought of farming, and now their farm is one of the most successful in Nueva Ecija.

02:12 According to the Department of Tourism, 150,000 are their target to be helped in this program.

02:17 And it can be added depending on how many people they repatriate.

02:21 The program is open to returning OFWs and their families,

02:24 and to distressed OFWs.

02:27 I mentioned, to the tune of around 200 million at least,

02:32 are devoted to the returning distressed workers in terms of livelihood.

02:37 I'm talking about resources of DMW and OWA.

02:40 But we need to harness the opportunities given to them.

02:46 So training, they need to know what they can do in this program launched today.

02:54 The program is expected to start in May this year.

02:57 For those who want to avail this program,

02:59 you can just go to the websites of DOT and DMW

03:03 to provide additional information on the process.

03:06 For GMA Integrated News, Maris Umali for 24 Hours.
