COTABATO CITY ---  A Cotabateño will represent the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration - Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (OWWA-BARMM) in the Model Overseas Filipino Workers' (OFW) Family of the Year Award (national level) contest set to take place in Manila next month.

Dr. Danda Juanday, Cotabato City administrator, endorsed last October 14 the nomination of Engr. Surafah A. Campiao, Al-Haj, a civil engineer who worked for 36 years in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as the city and region’s best for the national honor.

Juanday said Campiao is the OWWA regional winner and received such merit for his exemplary performance abroad while maintaining to have a good relationship with his family, provide for their needs, and remain active in civic and community involvement.

He said Campiao left and sacrificed for a long time in seeking greener pasture to secure a better life for him and his entire family.

“For him, working abroad is inevitable but an inspiring venture since we aspire to provide only the best for our loved ones,” Juanday said.

“But as leaders and prime movers in the government, we look for alternatives we can offer our people to make them stay and land a decent job,” he added.

Campiao will compete with other regional winners in the country in Metro Manila for a chance to emerge as the national winner. (EDWIN FERNANDEZ, PNA – COTABATO / MINDANAO EXPOSE’
