The OFW Action Line, a special program segment on the concern of the Boholano overseas Filipino workers of Gov. Edgar Chatto during his congressional stint, is now back on air, more committed and responsive than ever.
It is now a full 30-minute program of the provincial government under Chatto’s leadership and heard on its new Wednesday time slot at 10:30-11:00 am on DYTR and 7:30-8)) pm on DYRD.
The OFW Action Line has been revived for the provincial government thru the Effective Development Communication (EDCom) Office.
It had gone on “dead air” during the transition period when Chatto had then busily prepared for his assumption as Bohol’s 25th governor.
Also now labeled the OFW A LINE (for easy recall by Internet user), the program shall continue its purpose to link the migrant workers to their families back home.
The OFWs and their families can thus email issues relating to their concerns at ofwaline_bohol@yahoo.com.
The OFW Action Line had been a broadcast service project Chatto when he was congressman. The service has been revitalized in response to recent developments, the latest and most sensational being the Quirino Grandstand hostage bloodbath.
In addition, the Bohol Employment and Placement Office (BEPO) and PESO OFW Desk are in the process of setting up a facility for OFW dependents in the province.
The facility allows the families and dependents to contact their OFW loved ones in Hongkong through Skype, an Internet-based voice and webcam service.
They simply need to bring the e-mail addresses of the OFWs they wish to contact. Information on the availability of the facility shall be disseminated as soon as equipment and connections are completed. (Leah/EDCom)
