Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and their families can access government programs and services anytime, anywhere… thanks to Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) Regional Welfare Offices (RWOs) and Satellite Offices across the country.
In Region 7 or Central Visayas Region, OWWA operates a regional office in Cebu City, and a satellite office in Bohol Province. OWWA RWO 7 also coordinates with satellite offices in Negros Oriental and Siquijor. These two provinces are now part of of the Negros Island Region (NIR), though they still work closely with government offices in Central Visayas.
