OWWA Scholars to Get Their Allowances via ATM




Good news for all OWWA Scholars! A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed last 27 September 2007 by the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) and the Landbank of the Philippines wherein allowances and other entitlements of OWWA Education for Development Scholarship Program (EDSP), Congressional Migrant Workers Scholarship Program (CMWSP), and the Tuloy-Aral Project (TAP) scholars would now be made available to them via automated teller machines (ATMs).


With the provision of ATMs to said scholars, they would be no longer required to come to the OWWA Regional Welfare Office having jurisdiction over them to claim their checks representing their allowances and other entitlements and then encash the said checks in the nearest Landbank branch. The MOA signing was led by OWWA Administrator Marianito D. Roque and Landbank President and CEO Gilda E. Pico. They were accompanied by OWWA Deputy Administrator Noriel P. Devanadera, Landbank Executive Vice President Wilfredo C. Maldia and other OWWA and Landbank officials.
Among the first batch of EDSP, CMWSP and TAP scholars who were given ATMs are as follows:
