Envoy: Biyahe ni Pres. Marcos sa Prague, napapanahon dahil sa mataas na demand ng OFWs sa Central, Eastern Europe
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s state visit to the Czech Republic is set to underscore the growing demand for Filipino workers across Central and Eastern Europe.
Philippine Ambassador to the Czech Republic Eduardo Martin Meñez stated that the Czech Republic serves as a key indicator of this rising demand.
The visit aims to ensure favorable working conditions for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in the region.
A significant outcome expected from the President's visit is the establishment of a labor consultation mechanism to analyze data, track trends, and proactively address potential issues concerning Filipino workers.
The quota for Filipino workers in the Czech Republic is projected to rise to 10,300 by May, reflecting the positive reception of their adaptability and diligence by Czech employers.
Czech employers have recognized the high productivity and positive impact of Filipino workers on their companies.
