Congratulations to the Big Boss Man

Secretary Roque with the rest of the MYPA participants.

The whole OWWA family wishes to congratulate Secretary Marianito D. Roque as he handover the reins of OWWA and assume a greater role as the full-time Secretary of Labor and Employment.
What is suppose to be an unemotional undertaking of assessing OWWA’s performance for the first half of the year became a dramatic sight as Secretary Roque announced to the unit, division and regional heads of OWWA in this year’s Mid-Year Performance Assessment (MYPA) seminar that he will be leaving OWWA soon to be the full-time Secretary of Labor and Employment.
|
Though many feel that deep in his heart, it is hard for Sec. Roque to leave the agency which he nurtured and developed to what is now the lead agency tasked to promote the welfare of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), it is also understood that being the top management the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is a new challenge that would require his full and undivided attention.
All those present when he made the announcement cannot help but feel sad as not only will OWWA lose its best administrator ever, but also a very dear friend to each and every one who had the opportunity to work with him.

Also known as MDR, Secretary Roque is responsible for turning around and revitalizing the OWWA as a public-responsive and demand-sensitive national government agency; improved the delivery of services to migrant families throughout the Philippines. He also institutionalized a 24/7 Operations Center to monitor crisis and distress situations involving OFWs; and in 2006, at the height of the Israel-Lebanon conflict, he co-managed the evacuation of 6,000 Filipinos from Lebanon.
Wherever he may be, it cannot be denied that Secretary Marianito D. Roque has imprinted his legacy in OWWA and will always be in the hearts of the people whose lives he has touched.
