Two overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) were awarded Outstanding Migrant Workers by Taiwan’s Labor Affairs Department for their dedication and hard work amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Evelyn G. Kaguitla, a factory worker, and Amelia A. Comilang, a careworker, are this year’s Best Employee Awardees in Taipei’s Annual Exemplary Workers Ceremony, reported the Philippine Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) on September 4, 2020.

Kaguitla and Comilang received a trophy and cash prize of NT2,000 or approximately Php3,000 from Taipei City Mayor Hou You-Yi.

The Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) of Taiwan says Kaguitla, a factory worker in Taiwan for four years, was chosen for her good working attitude and for “extending help to those who are in need.” She served as a trainer in the various training programs of her company and initiated quality reforms in her company’s production line.
