DOLE recently distributed Php 780,000 to seven OFW groups in Visayas for livelihood training. More than 50 beneficiaries will undergo training on bangus (milkfish) processing, peanut butter making, longanisa making, and making of ladies accessories.

The program falls under the DoLE’s National Reintegration Program for OFWs and extended to members of the Overseas Family Circles. Earlier this year, a recruitment industry leader called for an improvement in the Labor department’s reintegration program for returning overseas Filipino workers.
