OFWs seek Asean's help on WPS issue

CALAMBA CITY — Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) whose remittance contributes well to the Philippine economy, are also feeling the pressure and challenges around the world, notably the dispute over the West Philippine Sea (WPS).

The OFWs' concern grew all the more obvious due to the recent incident where a Chinese coast guard vessel repeatedly and intentionally rammed the Philippine Coast Guard's (PCG) BRP Teresa Magbanua, and that they are calling on Southeast Asian nations to unite with the Philippines in opposing the China's aggressive actions in the WPS.
