Palace: Gov't giving returning OFWs 'VIP treatment'

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque stated that the government has shouldered the costs of OFWs' transportation and COVID-19 tests, calling it 'VIP treatment' rather than neglectful care.
Roque refuted claims by labor group Migrante International that repatriated OFWs were being treated like garbage upon return.
