DMW, Cebu Pacific, Aboitiz to build OFW center at Mactan-Cebu Airport
On Wednesday, the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) signed an agreement with Cebu Pacific and Aboitiz InfraCapital Cebu Airport Corporation to establish an overseas Filipino workers (OFW) center at Mactan-Cebu International Airport.
The OFW processing center will provide essential services such as document verification, medical assistance, legal support, and streamlined travel document processing for migrant workers and their families, aiming to ease departures and arrivals.
Construction of the center is set to begin this month under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework, with full operations expected to commence in June 2025.
DMW Secretary Hans Cacdac emphasized that the facility will offer comfort services such as food and coffee while workers wait, similar to lounges at Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Cebu Pacific chief marketing and customer experience officer Candice Iyog highlighted the partnership's goal of making air travel more convenient for OFWs by streamlining essential services like OECs and exit clearances.
