The newly completed Clark International Airport terminal building has dedicated a transit lounge exclusively for the use of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).
The lounge, where OFWs can stay, rest, and relax while waiting for their departing flights, is free of charge.
“Clark’s new terminal is envisioned to be an international gateway that all Filipinos can be proud of, not just because of its state-of-the-art facilities, but because it reflects Filipino values. Kasama na po rito and pagtanaw ng utang na loob. OFWs make a huge sacrifice for our country," Bases Conversion and Development Authority President and Chief Executive Officer Vince Dizon said Wednesday, July 28.
"The OFW lounge is our small way of saying thanks, and reassuring our kababayans (countrymen) that we value them, wherever they are in the world and especially here at home," he added.
Aside from the lounge, OFWs will also get to experience 24/7 self-service check-in and bag drop facilities to provide more flexibility in planning their departure as they are not restricted by counter opening hours.
The new Clark International Airport passenger terminal is a four-story building with domestic and international remote gates, baggage, reclaim halls, VIP as well as 'meeters and greeters' space, arrival, corridors, transfers, immigrations, and fixed link bridges, well-wishers area, forecourt, check-in, security checks, retail space, gate lounges, a food and beverage area, and commercially important lounges.
