Benefits and Services for OWWA Member-OFWs

Matagal na akong naghahanap ng impormasyon tungkol sa benefits ng OWWA pero madalas nakakalimutan ko kapag nakaharap na ako sa computer until me kaibigan akong naaksidente. Kung hindi pa ako tinawagan ng isa pa naming kaibigan na nagfollow up kung nakontak ko na ang POLO-OWWA officer ay hindi ko pa maalala ulit.

Though wala akong nakuhang info if may makukuha sya sa OWWA patungkol sa aksidente niya, itong nakuha kong info ay worth pa din i share.

Ito ang link ng source ng info na ito:
