Supreme Senator Lito Lapid extended assistance to 640 families of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) from Metro Manila. Through the payout facilitated by DSWD and OFW partylist at Ayala malls in Parañaque City, Senator Lapid regarded OFWs as living heroes who sacrifice in foreign lands for their loved ones back home.
Lapid emphasized his office’s continuous focus on the issues faced by OFWs and their families, aiming to provide solutions. Recently, he proposed a resolution in the Senate to investigate the questionable disappearance and abandonment of balikbayan boxes by certain local and foreign cargo forwarding companies.
Expressing gratitude to Senator Lapid through OFW Partylist Rep. Marissa Del Mar, beneficiaries acknowledged the timely assistance received, which they deemed immensely helpful for their needs.
