Ang lalaki ng sweldo at dami ng Benipisyon ng mga Empleyado natatanggap pero ultimo ang mga OFW pinapahirapan nyo magkuha ng LOAN. yung ermatz ko 20 years naging OFW sa Abroad pero ni isang tulong wala ntanggap galing sa OWWA! Pota_MAre kayo! sumabog sana yan mga tiyan nyo sa sahod at benepisyo kinakamkam nyo! Tama nga sila, padadaanin kapa sa butas ng karayom bago ka ma approve at sa dami ng requirements mo mawawalan ka na ngg GANA magLOAN! walanghiya! OFW naman sana ang tinaguriang Bagong Bayani sa Moderno panahon pero sa tingin ko hindi bayani tingin nyo sa OFW kundi mga gatasan ng gobyerno at lalo na kayo tga OWWA! ma KARMA sana kayo at ng pamilya nyo! kung hindi dahil sa OFW matagal na nsa kangkungan ito bansa natin! Wlang HIYA!
oo nga pala yan mga staff ng OWWA ang tataray kung sumagot sa telephone. parang kung sino eh pera ng OFW naman nagpapasweldo sa inyo! ayusin nyo ugali nyo para kayong kung sino eh tao lng kayo, nabubulok at namamatay din! kaya wag kayo mxado believe sa sarili nyo dahil kung maka entertain kayo sa tao lalo n yung humingi ng tulong eh DOWN to EARTH kayo! maKARMA sana kayo!

dami nmn po nyo requirement
I don’t know where you got your info about “non-collateral loan facility”. I went to an orientation about OWWA’s livelihood program for OFWs under LDPO. All of us, active and returning OFWs were disappointed to learn that collateral (real property–LAND or chattel-vehicles, etc.) is required. For land, it should be titled under the applicant’s name. This is funny. If most OFWs have parcel of land, they won’t have to make sacrifices working abroad.
yes thats true, i am also surprised with the collateral land bank is asking, for a 300thousand loan, they are asking for a property worth 500t as a collateral, I also thought as explained in orientation and traing that this is (was) a non collateral loan
