MANILA – A total of 473,154 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) have been assisted so far by the government’s One-Stop Shops (OSS) at all three terminals of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
In a Facebook post on Monday, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) said these OFWs were assisted by identifying possible isolation facilities for mandatory quarantine and provision of care until their quarantine certificates are released.
The DOTr said 184,019 OFWs were assisted at the NAIA Terminal 2; 153,243 at Terminal 1; and 135,892 at Terminal 3.
“The OSS assisted 118,686 Overseas Filipinos/tourists since the start of its operations until yesterday (Sunday),” the DOTr said in a statement.
The OFWs, it said, may view the available quarantine facilities through monitoring charts at NAIA terminals provided by the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), and Department of Tourism (DOT), among other government agencies.
The OSS is a joint government initiative that started on April 23 last year.
