PLATFORM: Noynoy Aquino’s Social Contract with the Filipino People

A Commitment to Transformational Leadership:

(10) From a government that treats its people as an export commodity and a means to earn foreign exchange, disregarding the social cost to Filipino families to a government that creates jobs at home, so that working abroad will be a choice rather than a necessity; and when its citizens do choose to become OFWs, their welfare and protection will still be the government’s priority.

To: My Fellow OFW’s

Please note that I am an Overseas Filipino Worker like you and a visitor in this country (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). Therefore, we are oblige to obey their laws and respect their customs, culture, traditions and religion.

I am not a lawyer nor do I have influence in any Government offices in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I am not also a Philippine Government representative from the office of Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO/OWWA) or the Philippine Embassy.

You ask my opinion and my reply are expressed in good faith to the best of my knowledge and based on my own experiences as an OFW in the Kingdom for almost 16 Years and as a Community Leader recognized by our Philippine Embassy and Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) / Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA).

I take absolutely no responsibility for the consequences arising out of such opinion or views. That is why I am asking you to seek more exact and accurate advice from the Philippine Government offices in the Kingdom overseeing the plight of fellow OFWs.

Thank you.
