I have been observing closely how our government officials have been handling our OFWs in Libya. The next president I am going to vote is someone who rises to challenges like this - especially that these OFWs are supposedly the heroes of our country. Heroes they really are, bringing in now so much cash that our country needs to survive. However, the way the government agencies are treating them is still poor to dismal. Just today, many of them want to change their Libyan dinars to peso, but still there are so many limitations like limiting it to 10,000 pesos only and a 7-day deadline. How can a family survive on 10000 pesos only till their breadwinners find another work? Everything now has just been reactionary. I hope next time they have systems in place when emergencies like this happen. It's time they put emphasis on calling our fellowmen, 'heroes'!
