STRANDED overseas Filipino workers in Hong Kong may be home soon.
Dr. James Dy, Ph.D., a Filipino-Chinese philanthropist offered to spend the flight home of the stranded Filipinos, many staying at the Hong Kong airport and nearby parks.
The 92-year-old philanthropist announced his offer in an interview with Pasada Mindanao radio program over at 106.3 Radyo Natin Cagayan de Oro, Thursday, March 3, 2022,
Dy said he is offering P2 million to bring these distressed OFWs home, and when they arrive, he would spend for their isolation and those found positive for Covid 19 will be given free treatment.
Pasada Mindanao producer and co-host Ricky Rivera said he would personally inform the Consulate in Hong Kong of the offer of Dr. Dy, a 92-year-old philanthropist.
The consumer and commuter rights-oriented radio program that airs from Cagayan de Oro appealed to the government to address promptly the needs of the distressed Hong Kong OFW.
“It is ironic that as the country shifts to the new normal, our compatriots in Hong Kong are suffering from complications caused by the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Pasada Mindanao host BenCy Ellorin.
