Protection of Migrants & OFWs: We will provide efficient government services: that facilitate both exit and entry; that provide a better match between the needs of countries and the inherent skills and talents of OFWs; that offer counseling and pre-departure orientations; that ensure protection against illegal and unscrupulous recruitment. We will fully implement a system that protects and ensures their rights while overseas. We will help OFWs channel their remittances into investments, savings, entrepreneurship and assets rather than wasteful consumption. We will also install in place the appropriate psycho-social services to mitigate the adverse impact of a parental loss in families throughout the country. And, for the long term, we will create a vibrant, robust, broad-based economy that will provide local jobs to millions of Filipinos so that there would be no need for them to seek their fortune in other shores.
Spratly Issue: The Philippines will assert its sovereignty and protect that part of the Spratlys that rightly belongs to Philippine territory. We can enter into principled partnerships for the development of resources as long as the rights of the Philippines are recognized and respected.
