THE Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) on Thursday announced that the agency, together with the Bagong Bayani Foundation Inc. (BBFI), will honor outstanding overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).
Dubai: The search for the next batch of recipients of Dakilang Bayani (Noble Hero) Awards is ongoing and nominations will be accepted until May 31. Dakilang Bayani is the highest award given by the Philippine Consulate in Dubai to extraordinary Filipino expats in the UAE.
Organisers said honourees are selected based on their “selfless commitment to serve the expat community and whose global contribution elevate the collective pride of the Filipinos. Career achievements take a backseat and what is highlighted is the service to the community.”
