What it should do is implement immediate measures to protect our domestic workers and OFWs abroad and long-term measures to generate decent jobs in the Philippines,” Concepcion said. “We need to end the government’s Labor Export Program and instead ensure that more jobs are created at home. Filipinos won’t have to leave the country and their families to risk their lives abroad if they have gainful and secure employment here.”

Norobiik @Around 151 #OFWs in #Lebanon are expected to return to the #Philippines starting Oct. 11 as #Israel continues to intensify its airstrikes on suspected #Hezbollah strongholds.
A series of nine flights will be available from Oct. 11 to Oct. 28 as commercial airlines in #Beirut resume operations.
If the 151 OFWs come home as scheduled, the total number of repatriated #FilipinoWorkers will rise to around 600.

But the PH government will happily turn a blind eye because it provides them domestic ~~slaves~~ helpers in exchange for remittances and oil :seija_coffee: RN: Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second class person. #saudiarabia #equalrights (📎1)

You know, all this cheering for the #Houthis I see everywhere in the internet (including the #fediverse) has always rubbed me the wrong way. Looks like my guts were right. :seija_coffee: "Two Philippine crew among dead in Houthi missile attack" https://www.khaleejtimes.com/world/asia/two-philippine-crew-among-dead-in-houthi-missile-attack #Philippines #Filipino #Filipinos #Pinoy #FilipinoSeafarers #seafarers #OFW #OFWs #OverseasFilipinos #OverseasFilipinoWorkers #Houthi
