Repatriation requests from Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) topped the list of reasons for reaching the Contact Center ng Bayan (CCB) in 2021. Most of these requests were about contracts that have not been renewed; employer violations such as unpaid salaries and benefits; and physical abuse of employees, including maltreatment and sexual offenses.

In fact, in 2021, the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) emerged as the agency with the most number of referrals received from the CCB, numbering 2,277.

Featured in the photo is an OFW’s feedback on the assistance provided by OWWA based on a referral made by the CCB. We thank OWWA for being the CCB’s active partner in ensuring effective and efficient response to citizens’ concerns, whether here or abroad.
