Pilipinas pag-aaralan 'special' forex rate para sa OFWs

“We will ask our economic team to look into it," said Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita in a news briefing at the Palace.

“Let us find out from the economic team, especially the BSP (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas) and the DoF (Department of Finance), but I have no specific reaction coming from our authorities as to how this will affect the economy because that’s one sector, the OFWs, are asking for,"
