Department of Migrant Workers Secretary Susan "Toots" Ople on Friday reaffirmed the Philippine government's commitment on Friday to uphold international statutes protecting the rights of migrant workers and to pay special attention to female workers and their children.
"At the time of their greatest need, we are there," she said, noting the DMW responds with a whole-of-government approach to every migrant worker in need. Ople also mentioned that the Philippine government was focused on building a more robust economy to address concerns over the growing number of women seeking employment abroad.
According to the Secretary, the two-day dialog "gave us an opportunity to convey with pride our best practices – our milestones amid our many challenges – in ensuring that the welfare and security of our overseas migrant workers and their families are promoted, protected and fulfilled."
