MANILA, Philippines – Days after President Rodrigo Duterte returned from a trip to Beijing, a lawmaker urged the President to help some 200,000 undocumented overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) based in China.
“‘Yung concern kasi ng sector namin, being the [one] representing OFW, is the legalization muna of the agreements between China and Philippines. Kasi hanggang ngayon kasi, ‘yung mga nagtatrabaho sa China, majority of them, 200,000 are puro undocumented. Very few lang ‘yung talagang documented,” said ACTS-OFW Representative John Bertiz on Monday, October 24.
(The concern of my sector, as the one representing OFWs, is the legalization of the agreements between China and the Philippines. Until now, majority of the 200,000 Filipinos working in China are undocumented. Very few are documented.)
