MANILA, Philippines — Returning overseas Filipino workers will no longer be provided transportation and accommodation assistance beginning June, after the country’s pandemic task force eased restrictions in Metro Manila and other areas.

In an advisory issued on Tuesday, the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration said that the Alert Level 1 status of some areas has allowed some services to operate in full capacity.

“In view of this, OWWA-chartered buses at the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange and OWWA-sweeper flights at the NAIA Terminal II shall cease operations on June 1, 2022, Wednesday,” the advisory, signed by OWWA Administrator Hans Cacdac, read.
