Protecting OFWs: Senator Pushes for Strict Enforcement of Labor Agreements

pna

Senator Joel Villanueva is urging government agencies to intensify efforts in enforcing labor agreements with other countries to safeguard the welfare of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and prevent abuse and maltreatment. This move aims to ensure that OFWs are protected from exploitation and receive fair treatment abroad. With the rising number of OFWs seeking employment globally, it is crucial for the government to prioritize their protection and well-being through strict implementation of labor laws and agreements, promoting a safer and more secure working environment for Filipino workers overseas, including those in the Middle East and other regions.
