Aabot na sa halos 23,000 Pinoy overseas workers ang natulungan ng gobyerno sa ilalim ng One-Stop-Shop na programa nito sa dalawang terminal ng Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
Batay sa pinakabagong data ng Department of Transportation (DOTr), binubuo ng 16,497 OFWs mula Terminal 1 at 6,745 mula Terminal 2 ang total na 22,972.
“The OSS assisted 5,185 Overseas Filipinos (OFs)/tourists and locally stranded individuals (LSIs) from the start of its operations until yesterday.”
Ang nasabing inisyatibo ay bunga ng pagtutulungan ng iba’t-ibang ahensya. Layunin nito na tulungan ang mga bagong dating na OFW na makahanap ng posibleng isolation facilities paglapag ng paliparan, habang hinihintay nila ang quarantine certificaties.
May nakapaskil daw na monitoring charts sa nasabing mga terminal ng NAIA para makita ng mga OFW kung anong quarantine facilities pa ang may sapat na espasyo na pwede nilang pansamantalang paglagian.
“The OSS is a joint initiative of the Department of Transportation (DOTr), Department of Tourism (DOT), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), Office for Transportation Security (OTS), Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Philippine National Police (PNP), and the Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ).”
