The Overseas Workers’ Welfare Administration today launched its “Alagang OWWA Serbisyong may Puso Wellness and Membership Caravan” in Hong Kong with a balloon-popping opening ceremony at its OFW Global Center at Admiralty.
At the heart of the activity is the effort of the Department of Migrant Workers to offer under one roof, the services of various Philippine government agencies.
“It is important for DMW that we bring to you not red tape
but red carpet,” DMW Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac said at the opening ceremonies.

Hong Kong is the 12th place where the Caravan was held. And although it was officially launched here today, it was the actually the second time for it to be held in the city. The first was in June, when the OFW Global Centre was officially opened.
OWWA administrator P.Y. Cuanan said the services include the OWWA E-card enrollment, whose staff will continue to be augmented so that they could issue E-cards to 800 OWWA members daily until the end of the year.
The E-cards entitle OWWA members to discounts from 30
partner estblishments such as airlines, clinics, drug stores, cafes, remittance
centers, and door-to-door companies.
