The Commission on Audit has flagged two livelihood programs for overseas Filipino workers (OFW) with over P700 million in total government funding, saying that their implementation should be closely monitored.

Audit findings contained in the 2018 Annual Audit Report for the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration indicated that the implementation of the Balik-Pinas, Balik Hanapbuhay Program has not been closely monitored by OWWA Regional Welfare Office as provided under Memorandum of Instructions No. 005, Series of 2017.“Further, releases to beneficiaries in RWO NO. 1 totaling P5,860,000.

Aside from receiving maximum P20, 000 cash assistance as start-up capital for livelihood projects, beneficiaries also undergo entrepreneurship development training. State auditors noted that only P27.88 million or 31.53 percent was “utilized due to time constraints, lack of manpower and inability of the OFW applicants to comply with the requirements”.The Tulong PUSO is a project of the Department of Labor and Employment funded under the DOLE Integrated Livelihood and Emergency Employment Program budget.
