“Our constituents have saved money for travel, transportation and meals. Second, this service has provided convenience for those families who are applying. And third, this is also beneficial for our OFWs who are renewing their passport or those who are applying for jobs abroad and for professionals who are do not have the time to go to Cebu or Manila. In other words, we have brought quality service with greater ease and convenience to our people.”
