Some Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) sent a letter to popular social media personality Sass Rogando Sasot, the one who helped them in making their concern go viral and reached the Office of the President.
According to Sasot on her Facebook Page, the problems of the OFW was supposed to be responded by the agency under the leadership of Vice President Leni Robredo but instead of the expected helped from Robredo, the respond came from the Office of the President.
Vice President Leni Robredo is the chairperson of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) but instead of replying to the e-mail sent by Sasot, the Office of the President responded immediately together with the DTI as they endorsed the letter sent by the OFW to HLURB.
Sasot also noted on her post that the concerned OFW who sent the letter will be receiving his refund from the company they complain despite the fact that VP Robredo did not do anything on their problem.
Here's the Complete Statement of Sass Rogando Sasot:
MARAMING SALAMAT SA INYO!

GOOD JOB DTI AND OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT!
AND HOUSING CHAIR VP ROBREDO, ANYARE?

Last August, may mga kumausap sa aking mga OFWs tungkol sa problema nila with ProFriends na isang real estate developer. Simple lang ang gusto nila: ang ma-post ko sa Page na ito ang kanilang reklamo. Noong una ang sabi ko sa kanila na lumapit sila kay VP Robredo. Nagawa na pala nila. So I posted their concern sa aking wall para kahit papaano umusad. Napakabigat ng nangyari sa kanila.
Today, nag-email sa akin ang isa sa kanila. At ito ang kanyang sinabi:
NILO (he requested to keep his name confidential):
