Senator Lito Lapid recently distributed assistance to 640 families of overseas Filipino workers from across Metro Manila.
In a speech during the payout distribution, Lapid said OFWs could be considered living heroes who sacrifice abroad for their loved ones. Lapid earlier called for an investigation into the reported thousands of missing and abandoned balikbayan boxes of OFWs.In his proposed Senate Resolution No. 950, Lapid asked the Senate leadership to immediately act on the problem since it is important to teach a lesson and punish delinquent foreign and local cargo forwarders who cheated on their customers.
The senator was dismayed with these acts of cargo forwarding companies abroad and in the Philippines since it took up to two years before balikbayan boxes were delivered.
