The new OFW Lounge at NAIA Terminal 1 was formally inaugurated today, a significant step in enhancing the travel experience of Overseas Filipino Workers and reaffirming the government’s commitment to “Serbisyong May Puso.”

The ceremonial ribbon-cutting was led by First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos, joined by Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) Secretary Atty. Hans Leo J. Cacdac, OWWA Administrator Atty. Patricia Yvonne M. Caunan, Pasay City Mayor Imelda Gallardo Calixto-Rubiano, and NNIC Chairman & CEO Ramon S. Ang.

Positioned as the government’s first holiday offering for OFWs, the newly opened lounge provides a more spacious, comfortable, and welcoming environment for Filipino workers departing through Terminal 1. With expanded amenities and improved services, the facility aims to offer greater convenience and a more dignified travel experience for the country’s modern-day heroes.

The initiative underscores the administration’s continued efforts to uplift the welfare of OFWs and ensure they receive the care and support they deserve—from departure to their safe return home.
