Palawan Express Pera Padala (PEPP), the money remittance arm of the Palawan Group of Companies, recently held a heartfelt tribute to the tireless efforts and sacrifices of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).
Recently recognized by the International Finance Awards as the Most Innovative Remittance Company, PEPP has long been the country’s most trusted remittance and pera-padala service. To give honor to OFWs being its long-standing sukis, PEPP launched the first-ever livestreaming of Global Ka-Palawan Awards – a first-of-its-kind recognition program celebrating OFWs as modern-day heroes.

This awards program honored the most inspiring stories of OFWs who have made extraordinary impacts to the lives of their families and communities. Ten grand winners were awarded ₱100,000 each, while 20 other finalists received ₱10,000 each as consolation prizes. The Top 10 winners are the following: Dario Magon (Japan), Crisanto De Jesus (Macau), Zif Bayutas Brady (USA), Czyrise Sadac (Dubai), Roselinda Hagad (Italy), Jun Blancia (Saudi Arabia), Jose Antonio, JR.
