“A Commitment to Transformational Leadership”
President of the Republic of the Philippines
16-POINT CONTRACT WITH THE FILIPINO PEOPLE Point No. 10 (migration- related):
“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.”
