Arab world Filipino diaspora hopes new OFW body will end bureaucratic labyrinth


DUBAI: More than 2 million Filipinos living across the Arab world hope a planned government department focused on their welfare will provide a desperately needed backstop after the pandemic highlighted their vulnerability in times of economic hardship.
Philippine President Rodrigo R. Duterte, whose term ends next year, is promoting a bill to create the Department of Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos (DOFIL) – one of his original key campaign promises.
It would replace the existing labyrinth of government agencies currently involved in overseas worker welfare.
If passed, the law creating DOFIL would merge all existing agencies handling migrant workers concerns and create a dedicated department to help overseas Filipino workers, often known by the abbreviation of “OFWs.” ....

THE Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has called for heightened vigilance on incidents of child abuse amid the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) imposed in the National Capital Region (NCR) and its nearby provinces.
The DSWD, which also chairs the Inter-Agency Council Against Child Pornography (IACACP), called on partner-agencies and non-government organizations, as the National Government imposed lockdowns in the NCR and the provinces of Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna and Rizal.
Considering that during ECQ, the possible victim-survivors are locked in with their perpetrators and cannot go outside to seek help, DSWD called on all member agencies to ensure that the hotlines and helplines for abused children remain open and active. ....
