Arnell Ignacio

Arnell Ignacio is the former administrator of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) who was removed from his position due to an unauthorized P1.4-billion land deal that proceeded without board approval. Graft complaints have been filed against him and other officials for violations of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. The controversy has led to a thorough investigation by the Department of Migrant Workers to uncover procedural lapses and ensure accountability.
