00:00Meanwhile, Kapuso, the new Philippines One-Stop OFW Action Center in Makati City has been formally opened.
00:06It aims to help OFWs who are fast and hassle-free in fulfilling their requirements.
00:13That's the first news of JP Soriano.
00:18Grace, a former OFW from Singapore, still remembers how she moved to the office
00:26when she was still arranging her requirements.
00:29The Office of the Department of Migrant Workers, formerly known as POEA, and OWA
00:36still have their own separate offices where they collect documents, seminars, and requirements
00:40for the Overseas Employment Contract, or OEC, and become a member of the OWA.
00:46But this is difficult for those who are still abroad.
00:50That's why we have to go abroad.
00:54In the process, we are still having a hard time.
00:58It's not a big deal for us.
01:01OFWs also often have a problem with their relatives in the Philippines
01:06when they have problems with OFWs in other countries,
01:10or where the benefits they receive will follow up.
01:14The new Philippines One-Stop OFW Action Center in Makati City
01:20is here in Makati City by President Bongbong Marcos and First Lady Viza Araneta Marcos.
01:26Here are the main services of the DMW and OWA for OFWs and their countrymen.
01:33This will eliminate the complication of bureaucracy
01:37and will make the system better for our workers,
01:42for our OFWs who are returning home.
01:45Instead of being caught up in a long queue and chaotic process,
01:50we will provide you with a good and fast system
01:54so that you can get the services, benefits, and programs of our government.
02:01Although there are headquarters and offices of the DMW and OWA,
02:05the target of the government is a place where OFWs can think of
02:10in this type of need.
02:13Major frontline services offered by the DMW include balikmanggagawa processing,
02:18reintegration support services, legal assistance,
02:22and other necessary support through the DMW Action Fund.
02:26But it's not just services for OFWs that can be processed
02:31in the new Philippines One-Stop OFW Action Center.
02:35The Action Center will also help other agencies
02:39such as PhilHealth, Pag-ibig, and SSS
02:43so that we can quickly obtain documents and benefits for our countrymen.
02:51There is a lounge area for the OFWs to relax.
02:56There is free coffee and other drinks.
03:00It's a small thing for the unforgivable contribution of OFWs.
03:06This is the first news.
03:08JP Soriano for GMA Integrated News.
