ONE way [to ease the plight of overseas Filipino workers] is to investigate the Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (POEA) and Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) regarding the anomalies unearthed by the Commission on Audit (COA).
Prosecute POEA and OWWA employees involved in the corruption unearthed by COA. Refund to OFWs or start a Foundation for OFW Benefits with whatever money that can be recovered. Make OWWA membership voluntary instead of compulsory.

To ease the plight of the OFW???…
Filipinos work abroad for one and common reason… and these are some of the things we (OFW’s) wants from the government, senators and congressmen… if you really believed that we are the new hero of our land…
One, if you could regulate to have standard or maintain Peso – Dollar rate for us.
Two, eliminate or lessen the transaction fee on our remittance.
Three, priority on all government transactions.
Four, special privileges, i.e. travel tax free, medical benefits, housing loans and educational for our children…
There are several reports, that we are contributing the progress of our economy… despite of the corruption being undertaken by our government officials in all levels… in all departments… left and right… up and down…

We, the Presidential Security Group (Right Side) were showed our loyal support to HM, King Anthony S. Martin for the benefit of our country. Let’s unite for the benefit of our people. Gloria Macapagal - Arroyo in her twist denial knew more HM, King Anthony S. Martin of Hagonoy, Bulacan that’s why she will go to Hagonoy in order to observe HM and not Hagonoy.

Majority of our Senators and Congressmen are surrendered to resolve our ailing country and deep inside they’re expecting HM, King Anthony S. Martin to move for the benefit of our country not only OFW. HM who was been an OFW before learned and knew sacrifices of our people there that’s why he’s encouraging our people to fight our right to Claim these funds legally used by the world.

Matsing, that’s why Efren is right and you’re wrong. What is real his point and score is to concentrate for the real root of their plight away from our country. HM, King Anthony S. Martin in our discovery was handled solution to resolve this problem.

Efren, tama yang suggestions mo. Pero mahirap gawin. Di mo pwedeng bann ang pagpapadala ng DH sa ibang bansa dahil tao ang may gusto nito at hindi and gobyerno. Alam mo na ugali ng pinoy, kahit gano kalaki ang risk nyan, papasukin yan, maiahon lang ang pamilya sa kahirapan. Yung passport nga pag na issue may nakalagay na “Banned for travel in Iraq” pero ano? pinoy parin ang gumagawa ng paraan para makalusot. Pero pag may nangyari pano na? Sisisihin mo gobyerno? yung nangyari recently na tinamaan ng bomba, Ni isang kusing walang makukuhang tulong mula OWWA at POEA dahil illegal worker sya at di member ng isa sa mga to. Kasalanan parin ba ng Gobyerno yun? kaninong choice yun? hirap sating mga pinoy masyadong urong sulong.
Then sa POEA at OWWA, wag nyo masyado tutukan and DH sa UAE. Oo ngat pinapahirapan sila at karamihan ay takas. Eh pano naman ang mga Skilled workers na di nyo pinapansin. Kailangan pa ng mas magandang benepisyo mula sa inyo dahil nagbabayad ang mga pinoy sa inyo ng walang nakukuha kahit ni isang kusing.
