The unmitigated disaster that was the New Year’s flight cancellations at the NAIA has one congressman worrying about whether or not the affected overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) would get fired by their foreign employers.
The unmitigated disaster that was the New Year’s flight cancellations at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport has one congressman worrying about whether or not the affected overseas Filipino workers would get fired by their foreign employers.“My sympathies go out to those who were affected by this fortuitous event. I know that this is very frustrating. This kind of inconvenience is not how we want to start the New Year,” said Kabayan Party-list Rep. Ron Salo.
“We are fully aware of and understand the fears of our OFWs. The government must do everything in its powers to ensure that our OFWs are not sanctioned, or worse, terminated because of this unfortunate event,” Salo said. “I am urgently calling on the DMW to give our OFWs the necessary protection from termination or sanction, and reassure them that their jobs are safe and that they don’t need to worry. Our OFWs should not be the ones to suffer because of this disruption,” Salo stated.
