President Benigno S. Aquino III played Santa Claus to three lucky overseas Filipino workers
by awarding each of them P450,000 worth of cash and gift certificates upon their arrival at the
Ninoy Aquino International Airport last Monday afternoon.
Forty-one year old Gilbert Acebedo, Evangeline Escano, 33 and Myrna Pagkaliwagan, 39
were picked over other passengers onboard Qatar Airways flight QR-646 to win top prizes
under the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration’s program “Pamaskong Handog para sa
OFWs.”
The annual program, which honors the country’s new heroes has as its highlight
the “Presidential Pasalubong 2010” which allows the President to welcome groups of OFWs
arriving from Asia, Middle East, Europe or America to spend time with their respective
families this Christmas season.
This year’s theme, “Pamilyang OFW, Masayang Sama-Sama Ngayong Pasko,” hopes
to inculcate in the OFW communities the positive values of family orientation and social
consciousness in recognizing the contributions of OFWs to national development and
extending a helping hand to those who have less in life.
Acebedo, who hails from Tatalon in Quezon City has been working as a salesman for three
years while Escano, a native of Tayug, Pangasinan has been employed as a nurse for six
years. Pagkalinawan, who lives in Bucal, Batangas City has been working as a teacher for six
years. The three winners all work in Doha, Qatar. (PCOO)

GIDUSO niadtong Martes ni Bise Presidente ug Presidential Adviser of Overseas Filipino
Wor-kers (OFWs) Concerns Jejomar Binay ang pagtukod og OFW Bank alang sa mas ubos
nga remi-ttance rate.
Sa iyang sulat alang kang Presidente Benigno Aquino III, niingon si Binay nga ang maong
OFW Bank maghatag og alternatibong pinansyal nga ekonomiya ug remittance institution
alang sa mga katawhan sa lokal ug apil na usab sa ubang nasud.
Matud pa ni Binay, ang maong lakang maoy ilang tubag sa pa-nawagan sa mga OFW
nga magtukod sila og kaugalingon nilang financial institution tungod kay kadaghanan
kanila giingong biktima sa mas taas nga remittance rates nga gipangayo sa mga financial
intermediaries ug money brokers.
Ang OFW Bank pagapondohan usab sa mga financial nga institution nga mahimong ibaligya
ug kontrolahon sa mga OFW investors ug stockhol-ders. (PIA-Bohol/ecb)

In recognition of their sacrifices, President Benigno S. Aquino III has increased the combat
pay of soldiers who, most of the times, willingly offer their lives for the peace and security of
the country.
The Chief Executive announced this good news during the 75th anniversary of the Armed
Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Tuesday at Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City.
The President told the soldiers present that he already signed an Executive Order on Monday
amending Executive Order 658 increasing the combat pay of soldiers to P500 from the
current P240.
The President said the soldiers in the field will start receiving the new rate effective January
next year.

Act of 1935, the President said the soldiers have been at the forefront in protecting the
country’s sovereignty in times of peace, war and calamities. (PIA)

Vice President Jejomar C. Binay, concurrent Presidential Adviser on OFWs Concerns, in a
recent letter to President Benigno S. Aquino III, has recommended the creation of a bank
especially for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).
The Vice President said in his letter that having such a specialty bank “will provide an
alternative yet viable economic financial and remittance institution for our kababayans at the
local and international levels.”
Binay said OFWs themselves have long clamored for the creation of an OFW Bank, as
they claimed having been “victims of exorbitant remittance rates charged by financial
intermediaries and money brokers.”
He proposed that the OFW Bank be initially funded and underwritten by government financial
institution before it is sold to and controlled by OFW investors and stockholders after a period
of time. (PIA)
