In this framework, all members of the Philippine government’s mission in each host country work together as a unified team under the leadership of the Philippine Ambassador, who acts as the team leader. This collaborative approach ensures that the needs of Filipino migrant workers are met comprehensively and efficiently, through a coordinated effort across all relevant agencies and personnel. By working together as a single, cohesive team, the OCTA fosters greater synergy and responsiveness in addressing the challenges faced by overseas Filipino workers.
