Welcome to the official page of the OFW Partylist. Sandigan at kakampi mo, saan man sa mundo! OFW Ikaw ang Bida! Sama Sama po tayo para sa mga bagong bayani.
OFW Partylist President Marissa del Mar used to shoot abroad a lot as she interviewed our modern day heroes, our OFW’s. With that experience of being away from her family all the time, she walked in the shoes of our OFW’s and that is where her passion comes from. In her interviews and non-televised encounters with our OFW’s, she has heard and seen all their hardships. This resulted in her pushing
her television programs dedicated to our OFW’s for almost 20 years to help spread awareness and assist our countrymen in need. She established the Buhay OFW Foundation and Anti-Trafficking OFW Movement to spearhead all her heart's desires for our countrymen. Through the OFW Partylist, she aims to continue to protect, help, and guide our OFW’s, the labor sector, and their families as well. As she continues to believe that all our countrymen who work hard for the sake of their families should be treated as heroes and nothing less. Kami po sa OFW Partylist ay nais lamang tumulong sa ating mga kababayan. Ako at ng ating mga kasamahan sa OFW Partylist ay laging nandito para sa inyo. At ipinapangako ko po sa inyo na kami sa OFW Partylist ay dadalaw sa inyong mga tahanan. Ang hangarin po nang ating grupo na OFW Partylist ay mabigyan natin ng solusyon ang mga dinaranas na mga paghihirap ng ating mga kababayan, ang mga OFWs at ang labor sector at kanilang pamilya. Sisikapin po natin na mabigyang boses ang ating mga kababaihan. Ang bawat pamilya

Pagsasampa ng BOC ng kaso laban sa MECI pinapurihan ng OFW Party List
PINAPURIHAN ni dating OFW Party List Rep. Marissa “Del Mar” P. Magsino ang naging aksiyon ng Bureau of Customs (BOC) patungkol sa pagsasama nito ng kaso sa Department of Justice (DOJ) laban sa Makati Cargo Inc. (MECI).
Ang isinampang kaso ng BOC laban sa MECI ay kaugnay sa mahigit 40,000 abandonadong balikbayan boxes na ipinapadala ng mga Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) para sa kanilang pamilya, kaanak at iba pang mahal sa buhay.
Ang mga balikbayan boxes ng mga OFW para sa kanilang pamilya dito sa Pilipinas, pagbibigay diin ni Magsino, ay bunga ng kanilang dugo’t pawis kaya nakakapang-hinayang na sinasayang at binabalewala lamang ang katas ng kanilang pagta-trabaho.
Muling ipinaalala ni Magsino na noong 19th Congress. Aktibong nakikilahok ang OFW Party List sa mga inisyatiba para maprotektahan ang mga ipinapadalang balikbayan boxes dito sa Pilipinas kung saan ang iba sa mga packages ay binabawasan habang iba naman ay hindi na natatanggap ng mga recipients.
Ang kasong kinakaharap ng MECI, sinabi pa ng dating Party List Lady solon, ay magsilbi sanang babala para sa iba pang cargo companies na walang habas na binabalewala o hindi iniingatan ang mga balikbayan boxes na ipinagkakatiwala sa kanila ng mga OFWs.
Ayon kay Magsino, hindi man aktibo ngayong 20th Congress ang OFW Party List. Subalit iginigiit naman nito na patuloy parin silang nakikipag-laban at naninindigan para maprotektahan ang kapakanan ng mga OFWs kasama na ang mga Pinoy seafarers.
Bunsod ng kapabayaan ng mga cargo companies, ipinahayag pa ni Magsino, maraming mga OFW ang naapektuhan at nawawalan ng gamit na matagal na nilang inaantay. Kung kaya’t ang kaso ng MECI ang magsilbing sampol para sa iba pang kompanya.
