The Filipino community in Bahrain warmly and enthusiastically welcomed Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac during a special event held at Sentro Rizal, Philippine Embassy in Manama on 26th June 2025.

This occasion showcased a strong sense of unity and active participation among overseas Filipinos, who greeted the Secretary with profound appreciation and hope.

He was joined by Assistant Secretary Venecio Legaspi, and this visit was part of a larger initiative aimed at enhancing support systems for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in Bahrain and the Middle East.

The gathering acted as an essential forum for open communication between the DMW and the Filipino community, enabling attendees to voice their concerns, provide feedback, and discuss new initiatives for the welfare of OFWs.

The program began with interfaith prayers led by Rev. Father Anthony Almazan and Mr. Abdullah Roozbah, symbolizing the spiritual solidarity of the Filipino community in Bahrain.

The open forum was facilitated by Ms. Celia Viernes-Cabadonga, Supervising Administrative Staff of the Migrant Workers Office (MWO), and the overall event was hosted by OWWA Welfare Officer Juvylyn Anns Gumabay.
