Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac, together with DMW senior officials, meets with International Labour Organization (ILO) Country Director Khalid Hassan to discuss areas of collaboration in promoting safe migration and decent work for Filipino migrant workers during the latter’s courtesy call today, October 14, 2024, at DMW Central Office in Mandaluyong City.

Both parties agreed to collaborate in promoting a safe and secure working environment for OFWs from every stage of their labor migration journey—from recruitment until their eventual reintegration.

The Secretary also reaffirmed the DMW’s firm commitment to supporting the implementation of ongoing ILO migration projects, such as the Ship to Shore Rights initiative, which aims to safeguard the rights and welfare of migrant workers in the fishing and seafood processing sectors in Southeast Asia.

The ILO, meanwhile, expressed gratitude to the DMW for its significant inputs in the development of the Safe Migration and Decent Work for Climate Change Resilience in ASEAN, which aims to support innovative and inclusive approaches in improving labor migration and climate change governance.

And the worst part of this all, ‘yung napupunta kung minsan ‘yung mga project na hindi maganda, napupunta sa unappropriated. Ano ‘yun, utang ‘yun. Nangungutang tayo para mangurakot itong mga ito.   Sobra na ‘yun. Sobra na ‘yun

“Our fundamental law is clear: the end does not justify the means.”

“There is a right way to do the right thing at the right time.  This is what the Rule of Just Law means.  This is what fairness or due process of law means, even for impeachment.” (Leonen, SAJ. Duterte v. House of Representatives)

“It is not our duty to favor any political result. Ours is to ensure that politics are framed within the Rule of Just Law.

We cannot concede the sobriety of fairness inherent in due process of law to the passions of a political moment. Our fundamental law is clear: The end does not justify the means.”
