In continued recognition of our dear OFW’s, the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration is launching the 2009 Search for Most Outstanding OFW Family of the Year Award (MOFYA).

Now on its fifth year, they are encouraging the people’s organizations, local government units and agencies, non-government organizations, church based organizations, government agencies, and communities to take part in the search for this year’s nominees.

The periodic and regular overseas employment may lead to financial stability for the family but prolonged separation also threatens family ties. However, it is erstwhile to note that some OFWs and their families have surmounted the challenges and downside of overseas employment. The 2009 Search for MOFYA aims to identify these families whom we can all draw our inspiration from.

Support to this worthwhile endeavor in honoring the Filipino Migrant Workers are most welcome. OWWA welcomes your nominations until July 31, 2009.

For queries, please call our Rotanisi, Inc. Office Hotline at (82) 305-8369/300-3402, look for Nilfa/Henry or at OWWA Regional XI Office, (82) 221-8593/ 227-9536 look for Mayette Abarca.
