MANILA, August 1 ------ Around 6,000 overseas Filipino worker (OFW) families in quake-hit Abra will receive assistance from the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), its administrator said Monday.
At least 10 people have been found dead after a magnitude 7 quake struck Abra on Wednesday. “Sa unang bilang namin, meron at least mga 6,000 na OFW families dito sa lalawigan ng Abra,” Atty.

Families who need the cash assistance may register online or by visiting the OWWA’s regional welfare office in the Cordillera Administrative Region. “Pero bababa po sa area yung OWWA para maging mas madali po sa ating mga kababayan, si Deputy Administrator Arnell Ignacio ay magkakaroon, meron na po siyang team na nakahanda at sa ngayon, meron na nga tayong mga technical teams na bumaba na.”
