Here's good news.. The President of the Philippine Association of Service Exporter, Inc. (PASEI), Ms. Elsa U. Villa, in a Press Conference at the Century Park Sheraton in Manila, reported a tremendous successful Marketing Mission at the Central Europe conducted recently at the Banahaw Suite in Century Hotel. Together with the 22 members of the mission which accomplished their Prime objective during a 19-day period to Strengthen and enhance the New markets for OFW's in Czech Republic, Poland, Croatia, Slovakia. The 3rd Marketing Mission in Central Europe confirms that the demand for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW's) in the European countries are of factual basis and has a foundation and process in it's follow-through marketing mission to the Czech Republic, Poland, Germany and Austria as well. Furthermore, according to President Elsa U. Villa, this new emerging labor markets for the Filipinos have a lot to be explored and their Labor and Immigration Laws needs to be studied, until these countries on their part are consistently expressing their desire to hire more Filipinos. The Philippine Licensed Agency owners as of this writing can not fast track the hiring and deployment of OFW's primarily because of not being acquainted with the markets. In this aspect, President Elsa U. Villa is impelling the Government to provide a collaborative support to open up the European Labor Markets for Filipinos. Government assistance could be in the form of establishing: 1.) Philippine Overseas Labor Offices in some of the countries 2.) Relaxing or doing away with redundant rules not compatible with High Labor Standards of the European Union and 3.) Initiating discussions that could lead to the establishment of Bilateral Labor Agreements.
In a Press briefing, Mrs. Villa also mentioned Poland, Czech Republic and Croatia as among the countries with a firm demand for the skilled OFW's. In Croatia, the mission was able to establish key entry points for OFW's in the markets with an estimated demand for 10,000 workers in the service and reception industry, which includes Hotels, Resorts, Gaming Facilities and Restaurant, it was the result of another round of talks with officials of the Labor ministries of the different European countries.
In that said press conference PASEI reiterated the call to establish a Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO). The call transpires from the desire of workers, employers and recruitment agencies in the region and in the Philippines to establish a POLO in either Czech Republic, Poland or in Munich, Germany which will eventually cater to the need to facilitate the sending and documenting of OFW's in Central Europe. In a letter addressed to Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), Chief Bernard P. Olalia, PASEI is requesting Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to convene the Technical Working Group (TWG) on Czech concerns created by DOLE Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III under Administrative Order No.19 Letter S of 2018 and to involve PASEI and other Stakeholders in the TWG discussions. PASEI reiterated the call for DOLE to expand the coverage of the TWG that will include other countries which have exhibited their desire to hire well trained OFWs, such countries as Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Croatia, Hungary and Montenegro.
