Calling OWWA! Returning OFWs Stranded In Cebu Quarantine Hotels

Dozens of OFWs from Dubai who were granted a 3-week break are stuck in quarantine hotels in Cebu City for 10 days now.
One of them is my nephew, Rej Piñol Servano, who sent me a desperate appeal for help today.
Rej said that before Typhoon Odette made landfall, the OFWs asked the OWWA and Bureau of Quarantine that they be allowed to leave earlier.
This was not granted.
“Ngayon karamihan sa amin 10 days na dito. Paano kami makauwi sa pamilya namin three weeks lang ang bakasyon namin,” he said.
Calling the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration.
Tulongan nyo naman itong mga OFWs na stranded sa Cebu.
Once a year lang makauwi ang mga ito.
