Gawad Tanglaw, the acronym for Gawad Tagapuring mga Akademisyan ng Aninong Gumagalaw, is an organization of noted members of the academe. Every year, it honors outstanding achievements in film, television, radio, and print.

We dedicate this honor to all overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) around the world whose sacrifices overseas are truly immeasurable. We express our gratitude to Gawad Tanglaw for this very significant recognition.

Bantay OCW is now on its 15th year of public service to OFWs.  The program was also awarded the 2003 Catholic Mass Media Awards Hall of Fame Award for Best in Counseling and Best in Public Service

We also serve as a bridge between OFWs in trouble and government agencies.
