dear all:
super busy ang dole these days.
1. yesterday and today, we are taking part in a multi-sectoral national policy conference on human development to identify the priority legislative-executive agenda under the new administration and new congress.
in our workshop yesterday in the labor group -- we shared that our 3 legislative agenda were: amendments to the oav; owwa charter and domestic workers bill.
2. the ccofw will have its regular meeting tomorrow, this time with sec baldoz as special guest. we will have the meeting at dole. dole issued a 22-point agenda, 12 of which are directly on ofws and labor migration. we will scan the document and provide you copies (or you may want to check the dole website for a copy. baka nandoon na?) -- out of the office kasi ako for the meetings kaya hindi ko pa ma scan ang document.
3. on friday, there will be another consultation --this time to expand the social security benefits of ofwsb trhough the employees compensation program. pls read on and share with us you thoughts and ideas on the matter. related to this, there is also an initiative specifically for TB-patients for social security benefits also....para naman ito sa DOH. the latter i think impacts more on seafarers na nagkakaroon ng tb-findings, ergo, hindi na nakaka akyat ng barko....
The Institute for Labor Studies, in partnership with Employees Compensation Committee, is undertaking the research project to examine the possibility of covering landbased OFWs under the Employees Compensation program, to surface stakeholders' perspective on this issue the institute will hold the Working Dialogue Series 11.10 Expanding Social Security for Migrants: Extending the Coverage of Employees Compensation Program to LAndbased OFWs. The forum seeks to 1.) identify existing social security mechanisms available to land-based OFWs particularly covering work-related injuires and diseases; 2.) surface gaps in the existing array of social security mechanisms and 3.) generates ideas to strengthen social security for land-based OFWs with ECP as a possible one.
In this regard, we would like to invite you or your representative to attend the said forum. Your inputs will be highly valuable in generating options to strengthen social security for land-based OFWs particularly covering work-related injuries and diseases.
4. draft guidelines for the compulsory insurance under ra 10022 -- today also, the insurance commission will have a consultation on the draft guidelines for the implementation of the mandatory insurance coverage under ra 10022.... let's wait for updates from irynn who will attend it. nasa conference pa rin ako today e....
ito muna.... toxic ang schedules....sana me mabuting resulta o epekto sa mga ofws at kanilang pamilya itong ating mga ginagawa.
ellene a. sana
