MANILA, Philippines—Thirty-four OFW (overseas Filipino worker) families will be honored by the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (Owwa) on November 26 at Sofitel Hotel for their outstanding efforts at keeping parent-child relationships close despite at least one parent being away for periods of time.
The Model OFW Families of the Year Award 2009 (Mofya) shows that although long-distance parenting is complicated, family members can exert effort to guide behavior, affirm love and trust, observe family traditions, provide support, and otherwise keep the family together through various means like cell phones, e-mail, videos, and texts, said Owwa Administrator Carmelita Dimzon.
Labor Secretary Marianito Roque will announce two national-awardee families to be selected from the 34 regional-awardee families, one in the sea-based category and the other land-based. Special awards for outstanding achievements in community projects and entrepreneurship will also be given out. - Philippine Daily Inquirer, November 23, 2009
