For millions of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their families, knowing where to turn in times of crisis can mean everything. The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) is once again reminding the public that its hotline and communication channels are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week—ready to provide assistance whenever it is needed.
Whether it’s legal help, emergency repatriation, financial support, or welfare concerns, OWWA assures Filipinos that aid is always within reach. Kababayans may call the dedicated OWWA Hotline 1348, accessible both in the Philippines and abroad:
Metro Manila: 1348
Outside Metro Manila: (02) 1348
From overseas: +632 1348
Beyond the hotline, OWWA also offers alternative ways to connect for faster response:
