The Department of Migrant Workers in Central Visayas (DMW-7) released yesterday financial assistance to three bedridden overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), true to its mandate to demonstrate “Kalinga” and “Malasakit.”

The Welfare Reintegration Services Division of DMW-7 delivered the medical assistance right at the homes of the OFWs, one in Sitio Pang-panglanug, Kalunasan, Cebu City and another one in 122 Lopez Jaena Street, Barangay Poblacion, Talisay City, Cebu. The third, who is currently confined for his chemotherapy sessions, was delivered to a hospital.

“The three of them each received P75,000 in financial assistance that will help cover their medical needs,” said DMW-7 regional director Maria Eloida O. Cantona.

The assistance extended to said OFWs is borne out of the Agarang Kalinga at Saklolo Para sa mga OFWs na Nangangailangan Fund Program.

Maries Geonzon and Norida Tomanto of the WRSD personally delivered the checks to the beneficiaries.
