Maraming salamat po Congressman Boyet, na kayo ay aming personal na nakadaop-palad. Ito ay makabuluhan at mapagpala para sa kapakanan at interes ng Pamilyang OFWs.

ATM... Orientation on the 'Department of Migrant Workers' (RA 116411) and its potential against the Trafficking of OFWs.

Ang pangarap ng bawat OFW's advocate na mawakasan ang Labor Export Policy (LEP) ay may liwanag na! Ang DMW ay kasangkapan lamang sa pagkamit ng tagumpay ng "Programang Reintegrasyon", pagpapalakas at pagpapaunlad sa "Proteksyon" ng bawat migranteng manggagawang Pilipino, at harinawa, ang 'panlipunang seg**o' makamit at mai-bigay ng pamahalaan sa sektor ng OFWs.

"DMW Section 2, Declaration of Policies:
The State does not promote overseas employment as a means to economic growth and national development and shall continuously aim to make it a choice and not a necessity. The State shall institute measures that will strengthen the domestic labor market for the effective reintegration of Overseas Filipino Workers."

Sa ugnay nito, nagsimula ang LEP, noong taong1975 batay sa probisyon ng PD442. Na, ang polisi ay di-permanente, na ang layunin ay maging matatag ang peso currency power, habang ipapatupad ang '11 Heavy Industrialization Plan', na, nasa 5-10 years development plan ng bansa (1978-1983~), na, kasangkapan para sa paglika ng lokal na trabaho at maunlad na industriyalisasyon.

Sa DMW, muli, may banaag na liwanag sa pagbasura sa Labor Export Policy ng pamahalaan!

"DMW Section 27. Five years from the creation of this Department, the. Commission may recommend the reorganization, consolidation or ABOLITION of the Department should circumstances prove that there is no more need for its existence."

Kaakbay ng Pamilyang OFW updated their address.

BBM ASSURES UNITEAM’S COMMITMENT TO SUPPORT NEWLY-ESTABLISHED DMW
Presidential frontrunner and former senator Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr. of Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) assured overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) of the UniTeam’s commitment to support and facilitate the smooth transition and operationalization of the newly-created Department of Migrant Workers (DMW).
The DMW was enacted into law last December 30, 2021, and is estimated to serve 2.2 million migrant workers based on the 2019 Survey on Overseas Filipinos conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
In his speech during a town hall meeting held in Marikina City, Marcos said that the creation of the OFW department will enable the government to uplift not just the OFWs but also their families.
“We need to also look after the families of our OFWs, and provide access to scholarships for their children, affordable housing programs as well as sustainable livelihood programs. The social cost of labor migration must be reduced, while reintegration programs to welcome our returning workers home need to be expanded across all regions,” Marcos said.
The presidential frontrunner under the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas noted that the remittances of overseas workers constitute 8.9% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).
Marcos said the Uniteam BBM-Sara priority remains job creation at home, to keep Filipino families intact but that he respects every Filipino worker’s desire to earn a higher income by going abroad.
“As a parent, we all aspire to provide the best future for our children. Filipino workers remain in great demand across the globe because of their hard work, integrity, and competence. Our OFWs are the best ambassadors of goodwill that we could ever hope for,” leading presidential candidate said.
One of the most consistent requests from OFWs supporting the UniTeam, according to Marcos, was affordable housing. “Rent is eating up a great share of OFW remittances and it is the dream of nearly every OFW to have a home to own after their work contracts are over.”
He said the government can tap the different housing agencies and launch partnerships with the private sector for expanded affordable housing schemes for OFWs.
“Let’s look at how possible tripartite agreements between government through the Pag-IBIG fund, the private sector, and our OFWs for rent-to-own housing programs so that the homes they are renting can eventually be their own,” Marcos added.

Reality Check:
OFWs Remittance (2017): Usd 28.1B
GDP (2017): Usd 285.5B
FDIs (2017): Usd 78.8M
Population (2017): 105M
OFW population - POEA (2017): 2.3M
Estimated OFW families members: 11.5M
Estimated overseas filipinos population: 11-12M

As of 2017, Singapore — by then, populated by 5.7 million people — received $1.28 billion in FDIs while the Philippines — with 105.2 million population then — received just $78.8 million. In other words, Singapore, in fact a city that is just one third of Metro Manila in terms of population, received 16 times more FDI than the whole Philippines. As a consequence, the citizens of Singapore are on average several times wealthier than the citizens of the Philippines, unemployment is extremely low, salaries are high and the standard of living is one of the best in the world. In the same year, Vietnam, whose population is roughly similar to the Philippines, received four times more FDI. Also, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia do better than the Philippines in terms of FDI.

Facilitating foreign investments is good for Filipinos I REMEMBER a discussion in the Singaporean parliament that I watched on YouTube a few years ago. The leader of the opposition accused Lee Kuan Yew, then holding the position of...
