MANILA, Philippines – There were smiles everywhere as 34 families of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) were recognized at this year’s Model OFW Family of the Year Awards (MOFYA) held at the Philippine International Convention Center on Friday, December 4.
Now on its 11th year, the MOFYA is an annual recognition of OFWs who not only sacrificed years apart from their families, but were also involved in civic engagements to improve the lives of the people in their communities.
This year, the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) hailed Robert Ranchez and his family from San Fernando City, La Union, and Nestor Tubongbanua and his family from Buenavista, Guimaras, as national winners.
They were chosen out of the 34 regional finalists nationwide.
The Ranchez and Tubongbanua families each received P500,000 in cash, small kitchen appliances, an iPhone, and a trophy.
Here are some scenes at the awarding ceremony.
All the OWWA regional finalists each took home some small kitchen appliances, a P3,000-gift certificate, and P40,000 in cash.
