Magalona, in coordination with the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) and his agency, upon his arrival at the Bacolod- Silay Airport recently.

From the airport, they brought him to the Riverside Medical Center in Bacolod City for medical check-up and other laboratory procedures, and then brought him home to Barangay Tomongtong.

Leading the Repatriation Assistance were Maricris Chavez, acting head of Migrant Workers Help Desk; Liza Borja, focal person of OFWs Help Desk; Denstelle John Dullan, nurse of Municipal Health Office, and personnel of MDRRMO. Joining them were Gabingaloso’s parents and siblings.

The Municipal Migrant Workers Help Desk is currently processing Gabingaloso’s benefits from OWWA and Department of Migrant Workers.*
