MANILA, Philippines – Returned overseas Filipino workers and their family members discussed with the director-general of the International Labor Organization the various challenges they faced when they returned home from abroad and tried to reintegrate into society, such as perceived discrimination finding new employment.
“It is quite critical that we add to our whole system a program that… makes it easier for people with disabilities to be recruited. It’s not just the physical structure to make sure that the wheelchair can get to the elevator. It’s more than that. It’s how [are you] able to work in a team? How will you be able to access the internet, and be able to also navigate, depending on the type of disability?” he said.
The ILO director-general said that labor migration should be a “voluntary choice, not an economic necessity.” The city also has a program where P20,000 in capital assistance can be granted to citizens who want to start a business, regardless of their age or gender.
