Search on for the year’s model OFW families
The search is on for the model OFW family of the year, according to the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), which will grant the award.
According to OWWA, the public has until Friday, October 10, to submit their nominees at OWWA regional welfare offices.
In a statement, OWWA said 34 winners—17 for land-based and 17 for sea-based—will be declared OFW model families in the regional level.
The regional awarding will be held from October 17 to October 22, 2014.
Soon after the regional awards, winners will vie for the national title on December 4 with only two OFW families for land-based and sea-based categories to be adjudged Model OFW Families of the Year 2014.
Judges will also confer three special awards—the Outstanding OFW Family in Entrepreneurship, Outstanding OFW Family in Community Projects, and the OFW Family Circle of the Year.
The Model OFW Family of Year Awards (MOFYA) is an annual institutional event of OWWA that highlights the solidarity of the OFW family as one of the pillars of a stable Filipino society. One of the criteria is family values upheld and nurtured by the OFWs that resonate with the community.
Judges will also consider the educational values espoused by the OFW family, as well as their achievements in managing financial resources while the OFW family member was abroad.
Last year’s national winners were Esmael M. Maulana and family of Maguindanao for the landbased category, and Alberto Balbalan and family of Ilocos Sur for the seabased category.
