Olalia said they are targeting to start the printing and distribution of the OFW ID either on Dec. 5 or 6 in time for the surge in the arrival of OFW for the Christmas holidays.

OFW lunched the OFW ID last July but guidelines were delayed due to concerns about some of the feature of the ID, however, DOLE said, the problem is already addressed.
