Previously, Labatt dela Torre and his team
provided off-site services at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish in Taipo, New Territories
on Mar.17, and at St Edward’s Parish in Lam Tin, Kowloon
At the Lam Tin outreach, 154 Filipino migrant workers
availed of the free medical check up, while dozens more asked for help in
signing up with the BM Online site to get their overseas employment
certificates (OEC).
More overseas Filipino workers were provided service during
the Taipo outreach, where more than half of those who submitted to the health
checks were found to have high blood pressure, suspected to be linked to their
high-pressure jobs.
According to Rodelia Villar, founder of the Domestic Workers
Corner, who is coordinating the outreach missions, members of the Filipino
community at both parishes expressed gratitude to Labatt dela Torre for
visiting them and extending services.

She said the communities were happy to see the labor official himself attending to their needs and responding to their queries, while overseeing a team of nurses and other volunteer medical staff provide free blood, glucose, cholesterol and uric acid tests on OFWs.
Villar is given help in reaching out to the various
congregations by Fr. Jay Flandez, chaplain to Filipinos in Hong
Kong .
She said more Filipino groups in far-flung places have
requested for the service, but everything depends on how long Labatt will be
allowed to remain in Hong Kong .
Dela Torre’s three-year term was supposed to have expired on
Mar 31, but under laws banning the movement of government personnel during an
election period, he will not likely to be pulled out of Hong Kong until August 13 this year.
