SENATE Majority Leader Joel Villanueva backed the initiative of the Department of Finance to launch retail treasury bonds intended for overseas Filipino workers , agreeing the move is “a great investment opportunity for the modern heroes.”
Villanueva assured in a statement he has high hopes for the dollar-denominated bonds, urging both the public and the private sectors to spread the word and support this offering.Villanueva suggested that “Filipinos should consider buying RTBs as a patriotic way of investing in the country’s growth and progress.”
In turn, the lawmaker then called on the DMW to “enrich the country’s full reintegration program” so that OFWs would have more access to livelihood opportunities when they come home.
