“We would make the full resources of our department available in support of our OFWs as they get reintegrated into our society or into their communities on their return from work abroad,” said Trade Secretary Alfredo Pascual.

Ople said some reintegrations have been unsuccessful “because there was no handholding.” She explained in a mix of English and Filipino, “They put up a business, even if their house is in a remote area, they would already put up a store. Of course, if there is a big supermarket there, it will have an effect on one’s sales.”

Ople said that hopefully, OFWs who successfully put up a business would eventually be the ones to coach future OFWs looking to do the same upon return.

“We want them to come back with excitement in their hearts on what the future holds for them and their families, through meaningful partnerships across the government bureaucracy and with NGOs and private companies serving as their mentors and cheerleaders,” said Ople.
