DMW opening 13 new migrant worker offices
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) plans to open 13 new migrant worker offices by 2026 to better serve the estimated 10 million overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).
Currently, the DMW operates 42 migrant worker offices across 31 countries, which Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac believes are sufficient in terms of volume.
The new offices will be strategically located in regions with high concentrations of OFWs, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei.
The DMW's expansion aligns with the legal requirement to establish offices wherever the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has a presence, which is in approximately 92 locations.
Specific new office locations mentioned include Cambodia, Guam, and Vietnam.
