Some of them even accusing the Philippine Embassy in Malaysia of favoritism.

Federation of Filipino Associations in Malaysia and everyone was asked to provide passports and working permits.Only those who had been registered was allowed to enter the venue.






Ironically, the OFWs who were not allowed to enter  were even taken the risk of being absent  from work just to be able to attend this event. Unfortunately, their effort  did not pay-off and they ended up disappointed and dismayed.
