THE PRESIDENT’S DIRECTIVES
“From a government hat 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 Overseas Filipino
Workers, their welfare and protection will still be
the government’s priority”.
“Invest in our country’s top resource, our
human resource, to make us more
competitive and employable while promoting
industrial peace based on social justice.” Source: 22-Point Platform and Policy

GAPS & CHALLENGES
• Need for a more responsive educational curriculum that
will meet the employment and industry needs, and global
demand and standards.
• Lack of advocacy and appreciation of Labor Market
Information in career planning and development of
students.
• Lack of incentives to maximize knowledge and
experiences of OFs (professionals, workers and trainees)
in key industries i.e. electronics, IT/BPO etc.
• Lack of awareness on Return and Reintegration
mechanisms and programs for overseas Filipinos.
GAPS & CHALLENGES
• Lack of coherence and institutionalized coordination on
M&D policies and programs between and among
government agencies.
• Need for timely, comprehensive and harmonized
databank on migration and development. Implementation
of EU‐funded project on Philippine Migration Data
Management will respond to this challenge.
• Host countries should take an active part in contributing
to the skills development of our migrants.
