An appropriate amount shall initially be provided for the AKSYON Fund in the General Appropriations Act of the year following its enactment into law and an appropriate amount for every year thereafter to provide assistance to OFWs at Foreign Service Posts where MWO have been established and staffed.
Within thirty (30) days from the promulgation of this Act, the Secretary, in consultation with relevant stakeholders, shall issue the necessary guidelines regarding the use of the AKSYON Fund.
A sufficient sum shall be appropriated to the DFA to perform functions of the MWO in Foreign Service Posts where there is yet no such office.
