Labatt Delmer Cruz and Dr. Yasmin Cortes, wife of Philippine Consul General to Dubai Paul Raymund Cortes, officially welcomed Mr. Trillo at the Center, while the rest of the POLO OWWA team led the former for a quick tour of the Center's facilities.

Mr. Ken Fortun of GMA TV-Dubai explained the nature of the visit, which is to provide an opportunity for Mr. Trillo and the wards to interact on a more personal level and understand the realities of Filipinos working abroad. Mr. Trillo revealed that he personally understands the plight of OFWs as one of his siblings is a long time flight attendant based in Abu Dhabi. He noted further that the welfare of the family back in the Philippines is a deep personal concern of any Filipino migrant.
