Sa ating mga kababayan, sa ating mga mahal na overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) saan man sa mundo at kanilang pamilya, Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan!
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), ang Tahanan ng OFW, extends its warmest greetings on the occasion of 127th Independence Day as we unitedly honor the bravery and patriotism of our forefathers who fought for our independence as a Filipino nation.
It’s been 127 years since the declaration of our nation’s independence in Cavite and us, Filipinos, who have deep love for our country have come a long way in our pursuit of independence and transformative progress. And part of that sovereignty we possess today, is also the freedom of our people in pursuit of better opportunities abroad and back in our country.
Indeed, this commemorative occasion is a reminder of the strength, resilience, and unwavering spirit of Filipinos, being embodied by our modern-day heroes, our OFWs who can withstand the hardships of being away from home all for the betterment of the lives of their families left behind.
As we celebrate our sovereignty as a country and as Filipinos, we reflect on the secured future we want to build together as a nation. With the guidance and support of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr., we continue to envision a future where OFWs are safe, valued, and empowered as significant players in the social and economic transformation of our country.
And this points out to our mission – our mission to ensuring better opportunities and strengthened protection for OFWs and their families back home.
Hindi kami titigil na maghatid ng serbisyong nararapat sa ating mga Bagong Bayani na patuloy na nagsusumikap sa ibayong dagat para sa kapakanan ng kanilang mga pamilya at ng ating bayan. Ito ang hamon sa ating lahat, bilang mga Pilipino sa lubos ang pahmamahal sa ating bayang sinilangan.
Sa ating mga mahal na OFWs, kami po ay kasama Ninyo sa bawat yugto ng pag-abot sa inyong pangarap na magandang kinabukasan. Ang pamahalaan sa pamumuno ng ating Pangulong Marcos Jr. at ang DMW ay kasama ninyo sa ginhawa o anumang pagsubok.
Ngayong Araw ng Kalayaan, nawa’y patuloy na mamayani sa ating mga puso at isipan ang pagmamahal sa ating bansa. Mabuhay po ang ating mga Bagong Bayani ng Mundo sa ating Bagong Pilipinas!
