Stranded OFWs in UAE worried about running out of money

Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) stranded in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for almost a month are worried about running out of money.

Hazel Mae Umali, who has been stranded since her contract as a retail assistant ended on May 31, is among those concerned.

Umali and other OFWs have applied to the Philippine Embassy's repatriation program but were informed that it may take up to six months for their applications to be processed.
