W ith the current condition of our economy, migration
has become the theme of the day. A lot of people
have chosen to ‘ jump ship’ and seek work abroad. OFWs
have become known as our ‘ modern day heroes’. In Korea
alone, there are so many Filipinos forming communities in
different cities.
Labor is way too cheap in our country, and so most of us
have to seek greener pastures abroad. The problem is that
labor is cheap and the prices are skyrocketing. Last I went
there, I was surprised that the prices were almost the same
as here in Korea, and this was terrible considering that the
salary rate was much lower there. I guess you can praise
the ingenuity of Pinoys on how they can survive such condi-
tions.
Different people have different experiencessome people
have a pleasant time in other countries and are able to adjust
well. But other people just can’t wait to go back home. And
among the second type are the ones who have families left
behind.

“In a Democracy, the people get the government they deserve.”
T ry looking for this quote’s original source, and chances are you’re probably
going to find a number of names in the likes of Alexis de Tocqueville,
Shakespeare, Hunter Thompson, and a number more of personalities. In any
perspective and in any political background, everybody agrees that it is equally
controversial as others agree that it makes sense. It is also viewed in the positive
light, that others may think less of the short-term benefits of voting for an unde-
serving individual and actually consider long-term considerations in one short
instance of an election. What’s Php500 that you can use up in a day (aka bribes
shamelessly distributed around the polling areas), compared to millions lost in
endeavours undoubtedly wasted and uncreatively spent without second thoughts
(aka sheds with the politicians’ names and pictures)? There are others who get
to choose about the possible effects on what their present governments would
have ten years after, years when their little children would look back in history
and get to say, “My parents chose well.” Cue swelling of pride.
And then, there’s the negative part of it. What about those who tried voting for a
sensible candidate? Surely they didn’t deserve to succumb to the fouled leader-
ship (if it ends up to be one) that ended up sitting in authority and equally control-
ling the books for you and me? Surely the historically notorious names that were
placed in power were not something the people could have foreseen? After all,
many of them had shining educational backgrounds, sensible-sounding families,
and similarly well turned-out advisers surrounding them. When children look back
in history, they can only ask, “How could our parents actually choose him?” Kung
pwede lang bumukas ‘ yung lupa can pretty much sum up the feeling.
And then, there will always be the unfortunate neutrals: non-voters who revoke
their right to complain on how things turn out, because they simply didn’t use

I have a friend who is an irregular worker, and she is a mother
working alone here. She used to be with her husband and
brother but both got caught by the Immigration and were sent
back home. I cannot imagine the sacrifices of a mom living away
from her family. But she seems to be doing pretty well. She
clung to religion as her center of serenity, as most people do.
For most Pinoys in Korea, the Church has become a bastion of
strength. And it is good. It helps people bear their sufferings as
they consider causes that are bigger than themselves.
My friend was no exception. She had made religion her center
it was like a balm that she used to heal all of her pain.
I’d like to think that in the future, migration would no longer be a
way of life. Where mothers wouldn’t have to be away from their
children, that they could focus on nurturing and loving their fami-
lies.
Or perhaps, in the positive sensewe could take something
good from our experiences abroad. Maybe we can learn some-
thing more about loving ourselves, as a people and as individu-
als. I hope one day, we can bring it back home. Back to our
mothers. Back to our family. And back to our country.
their chance to contribute on how they think things ought to be. Do they deserve
the government they end up with? Absolutely, in my opinion. And yet, most of the
time, they complain the loudest. By the time this comes out, the candidates would
have already been announced and sworn in, thanks to the first electronic polls
used back home. Get ready for the noise and the trash that has to be endured
and collected.
For those who’re not going to win, I hope they lessen the shouts of ‘ foul’ and
‘ cheating’ out of spite than out of being real. For those who’re going to be
placed in position, everyone has one plea: please work for everyone, and not just
for your plethora of newfound friends and sudden-found family. For those whose
candidates won, remember to not be the first to cast the stone when s/he shows
a flaw; as the campaign has been progressing, they look a lot more human so
give them the chance to be so. Besides, you wrote their names, remember?
For those whose candidates didn’t get in, don’t grumble, flail curses or vow to
keep your taxes out of their reach. After all, she’s still our country, and she bore
us out of her bosom. At least do it for her.
For those who didn’t vote no words.
But then I ask you the next question: Vox populi vox Dei? Is the voice of the
people (really) the voice of God? For all the candidates who used these words,
thinking it convinces everyone to hail for their arrival in office, let me pull out one
opinion to Charlemagne: (Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei,
quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.) “And those people should
not be listening to those who keep saying ‘ the voice of the people is the voice
of God’, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.”

 According to the 2009 report of WEF (World
Source: Seoul Global Center Economic Forum), South Korea’s competitive-
ness’ “steep ranking drop is mainly attributed
to the deteriorations of labor market flexibility.
The business community’s discount about the
difficulty of hiring and firing employees leads
companies to resort extensively to temporary
employment. It creates precarious working
condition and give rise tensions. The report
said Korea ranks third to the last for the quality
of relations between employers and workers
[sic]”. It also coincides to the 2009 Report of
OECD (Organization for Economic Coopera-
tion and Development) that South Korea has a
labor market rigidity problem.
 South Korea aims to be a member of the
world’s three major leading index compilers,
namely the FTSE (Financial Times Stock
Exchange), the MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital
International) and the WGBI (World Govern-
ment Bond Index), but the government think-
tank identifies the labor market rigidity of coun-
try as its weakest point, and must be resolved
to become a member of the exclusive club.

Since the report of these foreign institutions was

publicized in Korea, the OFWs under the EPS need
to react necessarily to amplify these issues to reach
the Ministry of Labor of Korea (MOL), and establish
a point of reference in addressing labor issues es-
pecially on the EPS.

On the occasion of the Labor Day celebrations this

month, under the EPS (Employment Permit System)
on its six years of implementation, FEWA and SU-
LYAPINOY scrutinized and humbly unveiled its
general assessment on the system.
 Some Fat Cats of small and medium size
enterprises (SMEs) were still dodging the
legitimate benefits of OFWs under the EPS,
particularly the Minimum Wage, Annual and
Monthly Paid Leave system, Night Differential
Pay, Overtime Pay, Menstruation Leave of
Female Workers under the 44 hour work-
system, and other particular insurance require-
ments not applied to by employers.
 Some Employers on SMEs business commu-
nity are very reluctant to immediately report
the industrial accidents that occurred in their
work sites, thus the foreign workers are the
ones who suffer because it may not be possi-

 assess if the LSA (Labor Standard Act) and Immigration Control Act
was violated.
 In some cases, due to the negligence of employers OFWs have
become involuntary irregular foreign workers or leave the country
unscheduled due to lack of knowledge of employers themselves on
the current policies and guidelines of the MOL and Immigration
office.
 Amidst the global economic crisis, Filipino migrant workers heartily
accept their employers’ plea that their company was affected badly
by the worldwide phenomenon, thus the company cannot extend
other cash package benefits despite the 24/7 operations of the
company. In such occurrences, the MOL does have not stated nor
established a particular agency that can validate, certify and attest
the claim of affected SMEs of their “economic difficulties”, ensuring
that greedy employers have no chances of taking advantage of the
situation.
In line with this, OFWs strongly appeal to POLO (Philippine Overseas
Labor Office) to gradually take representation of OFWs under EPS to the
MOL and HRDK. There is an urgent need of the full implementation of the
Korean Labor Laws, specifically the Labor Standard Act, Act Of Employ-
ment of Foreign Workers and related Insurance Acts, among others. The
full force of the law will transform the inhumane practices of their less
educated fellow Korean workers and SME employers into more educated
ones, especially for the benefit of the EPS- OFWs. We believe that the
Korean Labor laws, the existing MOU and Act on Employment of Foreign
Workers and other related labor laws are substantial in protecting the
rights and interests of OFWs under the EPS. Without strict implementa-
tion of the law a ‘ tit for tat’ perception and ‘ neo-con’ idea of OFWs’
fellow Korean workers and some leeching employers of SMEs will gain
prominence in the EPS community. It is of great privilege if POLO, DOLE
and POEA have a chance to have an initial negotiation with the agencies-
in- charge of the host country to start consultation with regard to the fol-
lowing issues:
Act on Employment of Foreign workers, Etc.(revised) Art. 24-2 The Crea-
tion of Council for the Protection of the Rights and Interest of Foreign
Workers
Memorandum Of Understanding between DOLE and MOL
 Paragraph 5- Implementation EPS KLT, Sub paragraph 5:
The EPS-KLT Certificate, the parties will consult on possible
measures to reduce unnecessary burden for workers related to EPS-KLT,
such as exemption from the EPS_KLT of workers who have satisfactorily
worked for least three(3) years under EPS.
 Paragraph 9-Preliminary Education, Sub- paragraph 4:
The POLO-Korea in May conduct orientation activity for or to provide
information materials to Korean employers to help them appreciate the
Filipino culture and to promote friendship and cooperation between Korea
and Philippines.
 Paragraph 12- Placement and Repatriation of Workers, Sub-
paragraph 5: The HRD Korea or the MOL will actively cooperate
with the Labor Attaché’ When workers report of cases of illegal
treatment by employer that makes repatriation inevitable , for just
resolution of the case.
 Paragraph 16- General Provisions, Sub-paragraph 2: The parties
will make effort to promote the availment of benefits by the workers
under the Departure guarantee Insurance and Return cost Insur-
ance, through regular procedures, before leaving Korea.
Working overseas is a nationwide phenomenon in the Philippines, and for
a rapidly aging population in South Korea it is one of its major problems.
Both countries will benefit more if the two countries will work harmoni-
ously in developing a framework and be a future benchmark model
among labor importing and exporting countries. If the two countries value
its bilateral relations the labor market issues should be considered in the
urgent list of priorities.

Araw ng linggo,bakit ka nag-iisa?
malungkot ang mukha tila nangungulila
saglit mong naiisip,bahagyang naalala
masasayang sandali sa piling ng yong sinisinta
Pilit mong kalimutan,kailangan magsaya
tawagin ang mga kaibigan, mga bagong kakilala
dumalo't sumali sa samahan,nandiyan ang FEWA
maging matatag ka kaibigan habang tayo'y nasa Korea
Bakit ka nga ba nagtatrabaho' t nagsasakrapisyo
bakit mo ba iniiwasan mga nakakatuksong bisyo
para ba sa iyong pamilya at buhay nila'y umasenso?
kung yan ang dahilan kaibigan,ako sayo'y saludo
Maraming nakikipagsapalaran maging OFW
halos nagkalat na ang pinoy,saang sulok ng mundo
maraming yumaman,ang iba ay naging milyonaryo
pero meron namang di pinalad at umuwing bigo
Maswerte man o hindi,kapalaran ay nasa ating mga kamay
kung paanu mo gagamitin talinong ibinigay
matuto sa pagkakamali at lumaban sa buhay
tiyak iyong makakamit pinapangarap mong tunay
Takbo ng oras,maging nang ating buhay
di man natin hawak kaya humingi tayo ng gabay
lumapit sa Panginoon, sa kanya mo idalangin
maging kapakipakinabang pangingibang- bansa natin..

Tayo ay nagpaparangal sa bawat Ina sa mundo
Upang parangalan at bigyan ng respeto
Sa Inang ginamit ng Poong Hesu-Kristo.
Hirap na dinanas mula sa pagbubuntis
Hanggang sa pagluwal siya ay nagtiis
Makikita ang kaligayahang kay tamis
Ang pagtitig sa iyo habang ika'y nililinis.
May pagkakataon na hindi sinunod ang Ina
Malalaman kung tayo'y nagka anak na
Ang hirap at saya ng pagiging Ina
Sari-saring emosyon ang madarama.
Bakit nga ba kakaiba ang bawat Nanay?
Ano bang katangian ang kanilang taglay?
Ito ay pagmamahal na walang kapantay
Na maipagmamalaki at isang kayamanan.
Kung anuman ang dapat nating pasalamatan
Isang halik, bati, bulaklak, ay kanyang kagalakan
Dahil Siya ay may mababaw na kaligayahan
Ating mga Ina, simulan na nating sulyapan.
