The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) strongly supports the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) in the 18-day campaign to end violence against women at pursuing a safe society under the recurring six-year theme, “UNiTEd for a VAW-free Philippines”, of the United Nations.

The 2024 campaign aims to: raise public awareness about various forms and impact of VAW; emphasizing that VAW is a public crime; encourage safe, effective interventions in preventing and addressing VAW within communities, particularly in public spaces; and encourage individuals, communities, and government to work together to create a comprehensive response to VAW with strong focus on prevention.

DMW is at the forefront of giving protection to Filipino migrant workers, that include millions of women OFWs who are the most vulnerable to abuses.  With the establishment of now 41 Migrant Workers Offices (MWOs), the protection of our OFWs against forms of abuses and crimes is strengthened.

Oo, ‘yung pinakamalaking naging problema ‘yung foreign-assisted projects, tinanggal halos lahat nung funding. Kailangan natin ibalik ‘yun dahil importante ‘yung mga foreign-assisted projects. At saka sinisira  pati ‘yan ang reputation natin.

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.”
