The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) stands behind President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in extending heartfelt gratitude to the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for granting pardon to 220 Filipino detainees, as announced last 26 December 2024 on the occasion of its 53rd National Day.

This very welcome gesture highlights the strong and enduring relationship between the Philippines and the UAE, a bond that was further reinforced in the recent meeting between His Excellency President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan in November 2024.

The DMW, through its Migrant Workers Office (MWO) in the UAE, stands ready to work with our Philippine Embassy in facilitating the repatriation of the pardoned overseas Filipino workers (OFWs). We are also committed to providing comprehensive support to ensure their smooth and successful reintegration into Philippine society, through a whole-of-government collaboration with other government agencies under our Bagong Pilipinas.

We look forward to welcoming our pardoned OFWs back home and supporting them in their paths toward full reintegration.
