Four of them received P10,000 livelihood assistance each from the National Reintegration Center for OFWs (NRCO); and one received P30,000 Aksyon Fund from the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW)-NCRO.

Additionally, three OFW families from E. B. Magalona have received P25,000 each from OWWA, under its OFW Family Assistance Program.
