From OWWA webpage specifically for OWWA OFW Rebate, this OWWA Rebate program according to Republic Act 10801 or OWWA Act. This is for OFW that are 10-years members of OWWA who did not benefit from any program from the agency. Ads
From OWWA ADMIN HANS CACDAC: "Paunawa lang po patungkol sa "Rebate" para sa mga OWWA members. Ayon po sa Republic Act No. 10801 o "OWWA Act", magkakaroon po ng "rebate" o halaga ng pera na maaring ibigay o ibalik ng OWWA sa mga OFW na miyembro ng OWWA sa loob ng hindi bababa ng sampung (10) taon. Dapat lamang po ay hindi nakinabang ang nasabing OFW o kaanak nito sa anumang serbisyo o benepisyo mula sa OWWA.
Bago po maitalaga ang "Rebate System", kailangan po ng "actuarial study" o pagsusuri ng isang dalubhasa sa pagtukoy ng halaga ng benepisyo na sang-ayon sa kakayanan ng pondo.
Sa unang anim na buwan po ng 2017, magkakaroon po tayo ng "actuarial study" at pagsumite nito sa OWWA Board of Trustees, para po maitalaga ang "Rebate System". Antabayanan na lamang po ang anunsiyo patungkol dito."

![President Rodrigo Duterte has signed RA 11361 into a law on August 8 which seeks to reduce the cost of electricity as well as new law that aims to keep all power line corridors free of any obstructions that may disrupt the supply of electricity from power plants to consumers. Ads President Rodrigo Duterte has signed a law reducing electricity cost by allocating the government share from the Malampaya natural gas project in Palawan for the payment of debts of the National Power Corporation (Napocor). The government share amounting to P208 billion of the Malampaya funds will be allocated to pay for the stranded contract costs and stranded debts of the NPC that are being passed on to consumers. The law’s main author Senator Sherwin Gatchalian said it will translate to a P172 worth of savings for a household consuming an average of 200 kilowatts per hour every month once implemented. Under the law, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) will provide a timely release of the amounts allocated and appropriated to the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation (PSALM) in accordance with its debt and independent power producer payment schedule. In the event the stranded costs, stranded debts and anticipated shortfalls in the course of the payment of such liabilities are fully paid before the exhaustion of the amount allocated in the law, the remainder will be utilized to finance energy resource development and exploitation programs under Presidential Decree 910.
