Salamat, Kabayan! Year 5 brings Sunday services for Filipino domestic workers in Dubai on 8 November
Kindoo and Dubai OFW detail MWO Dubai's fifth Salamat, Kabayan! appreciation day for Filipino domestic workers on Sunday, 8 November at Al Hudaibia School in Al Twar 2, separate from the 7 November Serbisyo Caravan at Millennium Hotel.
Kindoo reported on 3 November that Salamat, Kabayan! is MWO Dubai's yearly appreciation day for Filipino domestic workers, mixing government services with games, raffles and food on a weekend so kasambahays can come on their day off.
Dubai OFW reported on 28 October that Salamat, Kabayan! Year 5 runs on Sunday, 8 November 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Al Hudaibia School in Al Twar 2, Dubai, near Al Qusais Metro Station, under MWO-Dubai Advisory No. 23, Series of 2026, signed by Labor Attaché John Rio A. Bautista.
Who it is for
Kindoo said the event is for Filipino domestic workers with a valid domestic worker visa issued by Dubai or the Northern Emirates (Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah). Abu Dhabi domestic workers are covered by the Philippine Embassy and MWO in Abu Dhabi instead.
Dubai OFW wrote that this is the fifth year MWO Dubai will offer exclusive services through the program, organised with CAFFWOA and the Filipino Social Club (FilSoc).
Services and registration
Dubai OFW listed services including contract verification, SSS, Pag-IBIG, ARTA, DSWD, Landbank, OFW Hospital, PhilHealth, OWWA membership or renewal and OWWA E-card, plus free basic medical check-up, haircut, nail cleaning, massage, games, raffle and entertainment. Contract verification, SSS and Pag-IBIG are available only from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Kindoo said registration is online and only registered participants are usually let in, and past editions grew from about 300 attendees to about 700. Dubai OFW pointed readers to the Google Form registration link and MWO Dubai's official Facebook page for updates.
Separate from the 7 November caravan
Kindoo and The Filipino Times (5 November) distinguish Salamat, Kabayan! from the fourth Bagong Bayani ng Mundo: OFW Serbisyo Caravan on Saturday, 7 November at Millennium Plaza Downtown Hotel / Millennium Hotel, Dubai. The Filipino Times placed the Sunday, 8 November Salamat Kabayan leg at Al Hudaibia School with MWO Dubai and the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai.
