Watch the Video:OFWs Repatriated With The Help of Tulfo

Stories of maltreatment and abuse can be found in the news and social media posts. most of which happen to the overseas Filipino workers (OFW) deployed as household workers in Middle Eastern countries, particularly in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Victims are defenseless. All they can do is to seek help from people or organizations whom they think would help them in their situation.

aside from the embassies, consulates and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), most of them seek the help of Raffy Tulfo and his program.


Karaniwan na ang istorya ng pagmamalupit at pagmamaltrato ng mga employer lalo na sa mga kasambahay na na-deploy sa Gitnang Silangan, partikular na sa Saudi Arabia at Kuwait. Dahil walang magawa ng mga biktima tungkol sa kanilang sitwasyon, sila ay humihingi ng tulong sa mga kinauukulan. Bukod sa mga embahada, konsulado at sa OWWA, isa ang programa ni raffy tulfo sa kanilang hinihingan ng tulong.       Ads  Marami na rin ang mga OFW na humingi ng tulong sa programa ni raffy tulfo na agad naman nabigyan ng aksyon. Ilan lamang ang mga mapapanood sa videong ito sa maraming kaso ng mga OFW na kasambahay na nailigtas sa kapahamakan dahil sa pagkilos ng kanyang programa. karaniwang kaso na natulungan nilang makauwi ay mga kasambahay na pinagtangkaang pagsamantalahan ng kanilang mga employer na lalaki. May mga kaso rin na pinagmamalupitan at pinagbubuhatan ng kamay ng kanilang mga employer.  Ads      Sponsored Links    Naging adbokasiya na ng programa ni Raffy Tulfo ang pagbibigay ng tulong sa mga OFW na lumalapit sa kanila. Walang sinasayang na oras ang programang ito lalo na sa mga kaso ng pagmamalupit. Sa abot ng kanilang makakaya, ang programa ay nakikipagtulungan sa mga ahensiya ng gobyerno na maaring makapagbigay ng legal na tulong para sa mga biktima.    Abut-abot naman ang pasasalamat ng mga OFW na natulungan nila gayundin ang kanilang pamilya. dahil sa pag-aksyon ni Raffy Tulfo at ng kaniyang programa, marami na sa mga ito ang napauwi at ngayon ay kapiling na ng kanilang mga mahal sa buhay.

Known to have compassion to the OFWs, many of those who resorted in tapping Tulfo's help did not find their efforts useless.
In the video below are the proof of how the program swiftly moved and rendered help to the distressed OFWs and how their repatriation was made possible. Most of the cases were ill treatment and abuse, both physically and sexually, from the hands of their employers.

It had always been an advocacy for Raffy Tulfo through his program to render help to the OFWs who helplessly come to them.
They use everything in the best of their ability to work together with the government agencies that could help the OFWs.

For the distressed OFWs who are helped by the program, all they give in return are the deepest gratitude for the people who helped them to be with their beloved family again.
