MULING nanawagan si Sen. Cynthia A. Villar sa lahat ng overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) at kanilang pamilya na dumalo sa 10th OFW and Family Summit sa November 19, 2021.
“We invite our OFWs and their families to participate virtually in the summit. Registration is now open, just visit https://ofwsummit2021.villarsipag.org/registration,” ayon kay Villar.
Ipinahayag ni Villar na napapanahon ang temang “Masiglang Kabuhayan Sa Bagong Panahon” sa pagdiriwang sa taong ito dahil nagsisikap ang lahat na bumalik sa normal at masayang buhay sa kabila ng pandemya na lumumpo sa buong mundo.
Sinabi ni Villar na sa unang pagkakataon, isasagawa virtually ang summit upang matiyak ang proteksyon ng mga kalahok sa gitna ng global health crisis.
“This is an opportunity for them to learn how to protect their hard-earned money against scammers and how to invest them wisely. We also want to ensure their welfare and protection abroad and those of their loved ones who were left behind in the country,” giit ni Villar.
“Aside from teaching our OFWs how to wisely invest their savings and grow their income, it is equally important to educate them on their rights and how not to fall victims of human trafficking, illegal recruitment and investment scams,” dagdag pa niya.
Magkakaroon ng pagkakataon ang lahat na manalo ng house and lot, pangkabuhayan package at iba pang premyo.
Taunang handog ng Villar Family at Villar Social Institute for Poverty Alleviation and Governance (Villar SIPAG) ang okasyong ito para sa ating OFWs na nagsasakripisyo upang mabigyan ang kanilang pamilya ng disente at magandang buhay.
“Through the dollar remittances they sent back home, our OFWs also help keep the country’s economy afloat amid the pandemic,” also emphasized Villar who said the annual event is a way of the Villar Family to say “thank you” to our OFWs.
Inaasahan niyang libo-libong OFWs at kanilang beneficiaries ang lalahok sa virtual event na ito kung saan makakasalamuha nila ang private at government institutions para ss kanilang ‘concerns’ gaya ng access sa financial services, social benefits at legal assistance. (ESTONG REYES)
