Last July 11, 2012, Mrs. Cynthia Villar, Managing Director of the Villar Foundation and wife of Senator Manny Villar, personally handed to seven OFW's a livelihood assistance package for their individual sari-sari store business

SAGIP OFW Program

The Villar Foundation has been helping OFWs in need since 1992. The SAGIP OFW Program of the Villar Foundation provides livelihood assistance, skills-up training, scholarship and medical assistance. The foundation has also come up with different projects geared towards assisting the people of Las Pinas.

"Many OFWs who are either repatriated or returned to country on their own, have a difficult time restarting their lives here. They need help in the form of jobs and livelihood opportunities. The livelihood assistance we extend to them are just enough to get them started, it is up to them to make their small business grow," expressed Mrs. Villar
 Now on their 20th year, they choose 7 individuals who have sought their help through the Villar Foundation. After verification and a careful selection process, they choose to award those who requested for assistance to start their own small business through a sari-sari store. The foundation collaborated with PureGold in providing the initial stocks of the recipients for their start-up sari-sari store.

The recepients of the livelihood pacakage from the Villar Foundation were Simeon A. Cerezo, Romielyn Daguplo. Joanalin Pascua, Joselito V. So, Shally Mar Cruz, Jovita Tallada and Jose Gerardo Vasquez.

Cynthia Villar Running for Senator?

In the same press conference, the media inquired from Mrs. Cynthia Villar if the rumors were true that she had plans of running for the senate in 2013. She confidently verified the information and expressed that being a former congresswoman, it would not be a surprise if she runs for another government position to be able to serve her countrymen.

She was further inquired if her current goodwill projects are part of early campaign efforts. She readily answered that they were not and that the foundation has been doing similar projects for the past 20 years.

More on OFWs

This year, the OFW and Family Summit in partnership with Go Negosyo once again will provide livelihood and business opportunities to our kababayans and their families. Last year, more than 5,000 attended the summit.

Kudos to Mrs. Cynthia Villar and the Villar Foundation on more upcoming livelihood assistance projects. As per the politicking with regards to the upcoming senatorial election in 2013, I say that the Filipino voters are now more wise in making their choices. Vote wisely. :)
