The Association of Cordillerans in Thailand (ACT) was established in 2007 when a big number of Cordilleran OFWs gathered together in Bangkok to support a charitable and moral deed for their fellow Cordilleran who was caught from an untimely tragic car accident. Since then, helping the members in times of need has become one of the association’s pillars. Last year, ACT’s members were nominated as the OFWs of the Year in the prestigious search for Year’s Best by the Baguio Midland Courier (the region’s top community newspaper).
