The Philippines is seen as a model when it comes to migration policies as remittances from around the world continue to grow even with the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, the International Labour Organization (ILO) said.
dito para malaman kung paano natin pinoproteksyunan ang ating OFWs[Translation: Actually, we are ahead of the curve which is why we are being viewed as a model in migration governance. They look at our protective mechanisms. There are a lot of requests from other countries, they want to send teams here to learn how we protect our OFWs. We should be very proud of that.
“It’s a major issue,” said Houngbo when asked on how to strike a balance between wanting to keep the healthcare workers in the country and yet cannot compete with what is being offered in other countries.
“The Philippines have a Memorandum of Understanding with other countries, so the government should start considering telling the receiving countries to contribute, to step up the number of nurses being trained in education so that there is a minimum that can remain and then some will be coming back. So circular migration is balancing that gap,” he added.
