OFWs stranded at NAIA amid flight issues

Several overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) were stranded at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) due to flight issues.

OFWs reported arriving at NAIA without confirmed seats and expressed feeling neglected, with some likening their situation to being treated like "garbage."

Some OFWs complained about the lack of food and water while waiting at the airport, with one seaman lamenting the lack of government support.

One OFW, Babelyn Magallano from Kuwait, slept at Terminal 2 for two nights without updates on her flight.

Another OFW, Roseller Balarote from South Korea, experienced hunger after food ran out, forcing him to combine breakfast and lunch on his third day.

The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) acknowledged the situation and stated they are working to address the concerns.

Authorities are urged to fix the system as more OFWs are expected to return in June.
