AT least 105 Filipino workers repatriated from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, were given $100 upon arrival at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) on Wednesday. AdvertisementsOverseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) Administrator Hans Cacdac and Sarah Lou Arriola, foreign affairs undersecretary for Migrant Workers Affairs, welcomed the Filipino workers and gave each of them the money. The group of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) arrived at the NAIA via Philippine Airlines flight. Lawyer Raul Dado of the Office for Migrant Workers Affairs said the Filipinos were all runaways who did not receive salaries from their employers. The Filipino workers were offered big salaries to drive them to work abroad.
