OFWs aknowledge Chatto's deep concern   Rep. Edgar Chatto's concern for the overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) is widely recognized and appreciated by the sector whose remittances help keep the economy afloat.  Sources in the local business community even remarked it does not exaggerate to say that this is in itself Chatto's one way of contributing to the economy.  But the Bohol congressman's indelible imprint on the lives of the migrant workers is his rescue of the OFWs in critical condition, even from imminent death.  He had caused the release from foreign jails of OFWs who were falsely charged, oftentimes by their cruel masters and employers, with crimes and offenses they had not committed.  Chatto facilitated the repatriation of many OFWs who had long been hiding or safekept after running away from their tyrant employers.  Boholana maids who were abused in all forms, including rape and torture, in certain Middle East domains found Chatto their liberator from suffe
