Bill declaring Dec. 18 as ‘OFW Day’

MANILA, Philippines — OFW party-list Rep Marissa Magsino on Tuesday filed a bill seeking to declare Dec. 18 every year as “Overseas Filipino Workers’ (OFWs) Day” in the country.

Magsino filed House Bill No. 7903 citing the United Nations General Assembly’s Dec. 18, 1990 adoption of a resolution on the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families which also resulted in the proclamation of Dec. 18 as International Migrants Day.
