MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday inaugurated the Department of Migrant Workers’ (DMW) one-stop center which aims to provide compassionate, efficient and responsive public service to the overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and their families, especially in times of emergencies.
The President was accompanied by First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos and DMW Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac during the inauguration of the Bagong Pilipinas One-Stop OFW AKSYON (Agarang Kalinga at Saklolo para sa mga OFWs na Nangangailangan) Center in Makati City.
The center extends full-cycle support and assistance, including services beginning from the OFWs’ departure from the country, throughout their overseas employment, all the way to their return and reintegration with families and loved ones.
Other major frontline services include the Balik-Manggagawa processing, reintegration support services, legal assistance and other necessary support through the DMW AKSYON Fund.

It also brings together other services from the Social Security System, PAG-IBIG Fund, Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, and other key national government agencies such as the Department of Agriculture, Department of Health, Department of Labor and Employment, Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Tourism, Department of Science and Technology, and Department of Social Welfare and Development.
Through a Usufruct Agreement, the Bagong Pilipinas OFW AKSYON Center expands the DMW’s operations by utilizing additional space in the former Landbank Building.
This move allows the department to better accommodate its growing workforce and deliver more efficient and streamlined services to the migrant sector.
A standout feature of the new Center is the Migrant’s Brew, a café offering free coffee and snacks to visiting OFWs and their families.
This is the 23rd Migrant’s Brew outlet nationwide and the fifth in Metro Manila.
Since its launch in November 2022 at the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration office in Pasay City, the café has served over 600,000 OFWs, providing a welcoming space in their return.
