The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) and Luzon International Premier Airport Development (LIPAD) Corporation signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to formalize their partnership for the operation of the existing OFW Lounge at Clark International Airport (CRK).
Under OWWA, the OFW Lounge at CRK will provide Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) with a comfortable space to rest before their flights. The lounge will offer complimentary food and beverages, as well as convenient access to OWWA services, including E-card issuance, membership processing, and agency information channels. The OFW Lounge is located at the International Departures Hall and expected to launch its enhanced services in September 2026.
The agreement was signed by OWWA Administrator Atty. Patricia Yvonne M. Caunan and LIPAD President and CEO Noel F. Manankil, witnessed by OWWA Deputy Administrators Atty. Jasmine Ann B. Gapatan and Rosalia Susana S. Bahia-Catapang, together with LIPAD Head of Operations Dante B. Basanta. Officials from the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), OWWA, and LIPAD also attended the ceremony, which was followed by a press conference and a tour of the location.
Through this partnership, CRK, operated by LIPAD, reaffirms its commitment to supporting OFWs by providing world-class facilities, seamless services, and a welcoming airport experience that every Filipino can be proud of.
