What What is it

Directions: Read the text entitled, THE PHILIPPINES: A Global Model on

Labor Migration

The Philippines has been publicized as a global model for labor export. In
some international gatherings, Philippine officials have been lauded for their ways of
handling of the country’s labor-export program. Officials of labor-exporting countries
have even asked the Philippine government officials to give them pointers in
managing and developing their labor-export programs.
With some 8.7 million migrants, overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), and
undocumented worker overseas who remit more than 12 billion dollars each year,
the Philippines has a number of laws in place and agencies mandated to the serve
the needs of its overseas workers and their families. Several international
instruments to promote migrants’ rights have also been put in effect the past decade.
In many cases, however, Filipino migrants still find themselves in vulnerable
situations and unable to realize their rights guaranteed by national and international
instruments.
Do the Philippines live up to its image as a model for overseas labor export?
Do its laws and agencies really serve the needs of Filipino overseas workers and
their families? Has the country been able to draw on international instruments in
promoting the rights of Filipinos abroad?
This document seeks to lay bare the concept of a “global model” by
presenting current Philippine and global realities. It deals on how these affect and
influence labor outmigration in the country. It will further examine the Philippine labor
migration policies, not merely in theory but also in terms of realities on the ground.
Based on the facts, readers can either remains convinced that the Philippines
really is a “model” that should be emulated, or they can turn into critics of the current
labor export program.
