All reaffirmed their strong support for the DMW's mission to deliver holistic programs and services for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and their families, in observance of the 30th Migrant Workers' Day. The upcoming DMW headquarters—strategically located in Quezon City—will be able to serve more OFWs and will include a wellness center to address the health and medical needs of OFWs and their dependents. Slated for completion in 2027, the project is being carried out under the directive of President Ferdinand R.
