00:00To our OFWs, according to the Bankocentra data, more than 37 billion dollars were sent to the country by our OFWs last year.
00:16This is a great help to our evolving economy.
00:26Therefore, we are not only thankful, but we are also proud of what we are sending to all of our OFWs.
00:38I hope they can see this and feel your sacrifice here in our country.
00:47Through vital partnerships with like-minded states, we have been able to promote our mutual interests,
00:53resulting not only in investments here and our strengthened national security, but also in quality jobs for our nationals seeking foreign employment.
01:03Through intense Philippine lobbying, the United Nations has adopted the Resolution on Promoting and Protecting the Enjoyment of Human Rights of Seafarers.
01:14This will ensure their safe and decent living and working conditions at sea, a human rights imperative.
01:27We continue to provide assistance to our OFWs. This does not end with their immigration to the country.
01:34We have opened special facilities and services for them, such as the OFW Lounge in Naia and the Seafarers Hub in Manila.
01:45We have also helped our OFWs who have been affected by Israel, Gaza, Sudan, Lebanon, and Yemen to return safely to their country.
02:03We have also helped our OFWs in the face of calamities and crises, such as in Taiwan and New Zealand.
02:12We support the OFWs and their families who are returning home.
02:25We want them to have a good start here in the country, so that they can get a good job or start a business.
02:35Just as I predicted a year ago, Saudi Arabia has already started to issue checks to our unemployed employees.
02:50Little by little, our affected OFWs are already being paid.
