Below is a list of contact telephone numbers and email addresses for emergency support for OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers). I think it should be mandatory to provide each OFW a small handbook containing hotline numbers and other information for obtaining support in case of an emergency. Ensuring an open communication line with each OFW (especially with loved ones at home!) is the least the government of the Philippines can do for these unsung heroes of the Philippine economy.
