OFW

Mar recognizes the sacrifices of our OFW’s. Like them, Mar also dreams of the day when they no longer have to leave their families behind just to earn a living. But until that day comes, Mar will continue to fight for the rights of our modern-day heroes.

Mar’s vision for OFW’s: Ample Support and Protection from the Government

• Adequate preparation for the OFW’s before they leave the country
• Affordable and easy access to communication with their loved ones in the Philippines
• Speedy legal assistance for OFW’s in conflict with the law in other countries
• Assurances that their remittances will reach the ones who need it
• Affordable remittances fees

Mar is also pushing for the following:

• Remove the 0.15% Documentary Stamp Tax (DST) on OFW Remittances
• Professionalize the foreign service corps and make them more responsive to the needs of OFW’s
• Adequate funds for the social reintegration programs for OFW’s

Mar is one with the our gallant OFW’s. He asserts that these modern-day heroes truly deserve to be treated as heroes.
