Stranded na OFWs sa ibang bansa dapat maiuwi na
OFWs
TUTULONG ang liderato ng Kamara de Representantes upang makahanap ng biyahe ng eruplano para maiuwi ang mga Filipino na stranded sa ibang bansa.
Ayon kay House Majority Leader at Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez maaari umanong mag-lobby ang Kamara sa mga airline companies upang masundo ang mga Filipino sa ibang bansa.
“We empathize with the plight of thousands of stranded OFWs who are unemployed for months,” ani Romualdez. “Immediately, we need to have more flights to accommodate our returning OFWs and ensure that health protocols are strictly observed for their safe travels.”
Bukas ay magsasagawa ng pagdinig ang House committee on accounts kaugnay ng mabagal na repatriation ng mga OFW.
“We want the living as well as the dead repatriated as soon as possible. They have been stranded abroad for months,” ani Defensor. “Consistent with the directive of Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano in the case of the social amelioration program, we want to look into the problems plaguing the repatriation of our workers overseas, who have lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and find solutions.”
Ipinatawag sa pagdinig ang mga opisyal ng Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE), Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) against COVID-19, Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Department of Transportation (DOTr), some ambassadors assigned to the Middle East, at mga kinatawan ng OFW.
