A guaranteed fund of P1 billion pesos are prepared for the relaunched of its integrated program by OWWA and LBP for OFW’s.
Philippine Labour Attache for Dubai and the Northern Emirates Ofelia Domingo confirmed that the integration program was relaunched last week.
Emirates Dominggo stated that in order to avail of this program you must be an active and updated member of OWWA.
Goodnews is, even former OFWs who stayed for three years in the Philippines since re-settlement can be considered and approved.
The loanable amount for either sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation has been lowered down to P100,000 to P2,000,000 from P300,000 to P2,000,000.
Still, the loan is payable in seven years with a grace period of two years. The interest rate is 7.5 percent for a maximum of seven years.
Interested parties are advised to open an LBP auto debit savings account
Within two months, the loan may be approved upon the submission of requirements particularly a feasibility study and collaterals.

The integration program was originally introduced to OFWs in 2010.
