A group of 157 Filipinos — comprising 113 overseas Filipino workers and 44 of their dependents — are bound for Manila aboard a commercial Emirates flight expected to touch down at NAIA Terminal 3 on the evening of April 17, 2026.
The Migrant Workers Office in Dubai facilitated pre-departure assistance and a briefing for the departing group prior to their flight, led by Labor Attaché John Rio Bautista.
The repatriation is being carried out under the government’s ongoing program to ensure the safe and orderly return of OFWs and their families, in accordance with directives issued by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
