OWWA refutes claims of OFW Lounge closure
The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) has debunked online reports claiming that OFW Lounges are facing closure due to budget shortages, labeling them as 'fake news.'
OWWA aims to strengthen and expand the OFW Lounges, echoing President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s directive.
A new OFW Lounge with upgraded facilities is set to open at NAIA Terminal 1.
Additional lounges are planned for Cebu and Clark to extend services to more overseas Filipino workers and their families.
The agency clarified that their budget request in Congress is intended for service improvements, facility expansion, new lounge establishments, and sustaining amenities like free food for OFWs.
OWWA urged the public to rely only on official announcements from the agency and the Department of Migrant Workers to avoid spreading misinformation.
