Help is Just a Click Away

HK Victoria Park Philipino Migrant Workers

"In an effort to better improve and extend the scope of its Rights and Welfare Assistance Program (RWAP) for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), Migrante International today launched its “TANGGOL MIGRANTE ONLINE COMPLAINT FORM.” We uphold and advance the rights of overseas Filipinos: - Migrante International

It's about time, Kudos!!! to Migrante International. This is indeed a good news for OFWs, a great weapon and a protective shield against the rudeness, and abuse of some Philippine Embassy Officials. I guess the Romulo Salud issue has a good impact after all. Majority of OFWs have access to the internet so this will be a very convenient way for them in addressing the right organization for their complaints.

While the government talks about its appreciation of the contributions of Filipino Overseas Workers. Some Embassy Officials who are supposedly the "Champions" for the distressed OFWs are ironically worst than the “villains” themselves.

“One of our core programs is to provide our OFWs venues for their redress. Now, it is just a click away and may be accessed by OFWs all over the world,” said Gina Esguerra, Secretary General of Migrante International.

To my fellow OFWs please bookmark the page where you can fine the complaint form, it's always better to be armed in any kind of battles. Here is the Link TANGGOL MIGRANTE. Don’t let anyone treat like a trash, know your rights, fight for your rights.

Mga Bagong Bayani (OFW) Ipagbunyi inyong Kadakilaan

Sa bawat daan na iyong tinahak Sa mga luha sa mata mo pumatak Sa katawan mong pagod at batak Sa pamilya mong muntik mawasak Sa bawat mga araw na lumilipas Sa yugto ng buhay mong nalalagas Sa damdamin mong nagagasgas Sa mga nagdaraang mga oras Saan ka kaya patutungo? Sino kaya ang sa luha magpapatuyo? May hahagod kaya sa katawang hapo? Manitili kayang pamilya mo ay buo? Araw na lumipas maibabalik ba? Makikita ba mga sandaling nawala? Kaya pa ba sa bigat ng iyong dala? Oras na nagdaan mapapalitan ba? Mga Bagong Bayani....Ipagbunyi inyong kadakilaan..

Are OFW's Rich?

"Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are not rich. We have this notion that when someone is an OFW or based abroad, he or she is loaded. Not true. An OFW might earn from P50K-P300K a month, depending on the location. Those in Saudi Arabia or the United States might earn in the high range. But to say that they're 'rich' is a fallacy (amen!). There's no place like home - Living Abroad : For some OFW's the notion maybe true but for most it's a fallacy like what the author of the article where I got the excerpt said. I have seen the plight of some unfortunate Filipinos working here in Qatar and even heard of some earning as low as QR 700.00 that is roughly Php 8,360.00. Imagine the hardships and the sacrifices it takes just to earn that meagre amount so they can send money home. I just can't imagine how they are surviving with that salary as the cost of living here is relatively higher compared to Saudi Arabia. My food allowance here ranges from QR 5
