US firms, handang i-employ ang mga OFWs na nailigtas ng gobyerno ng Pilipinas mula Sudan

NAGPAHAYAG ng interest ang american business firms na i-employ ang mga  Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) na kamakailan lamang ay nailigtas ng Philippine government mula sa Sudan.

 

 

“They’re willing na tingnan ‘yung profiles nung mga galing Sudan kasi sabi ko these are skilled workers. Sabi ko, may international school na teachers may mga nurses, mayroon ding construction workers tsaka mga engineers. So sabi naman nila, they’re willing to look at the profiles,” ayon kay Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) Secretary Susan Ople.

 

 

Sa katunayan ani Ople, kabilang sa mga  top US employers na interesado na i-employ ang mga nailigtas na  OFWs ay  sina  Patty Jeffrey, executive vice president for International Operations ng MedPro International, Magsaysay People Resources/Magsaysay Maritime Corporation sa ilalim ng Doris Magsaysay-Ho at John Padget, president at chief experience at innovation officer ng Carnival Corporation, Princess Cruises.

 

 

Ani Ople, inihahanda na ng DMW ang  profiles ng mga OFWs na ibibigay sa mga employers sa Estados Unidos at Saudi Arabia, na nagpahayag din ng interest na kunin ang serbisyo o magtrabaho sa kanila ang mga Filipino.

 

 

“There are employers in the US and also in the cruise ship industry and in Saudi Arabia that are very much interested and would like to see profiles of our workers from Sudan,” ani Ople.

 

 

“For Saudi Arabia, we are working closely with PEACEME, a recruitment industry association geared towards employment in KSA as well as with the Ministry of Human Resource and Social Development,” dagdag na wika nito.

 

 

Tinukoy pa ni Ople na ang “livelihood support at assistance” ay nakaayos na rin para sa mga  displaced OFWs.

 

 

“All OFWs have received US$200 care of the DMW while they are in Egypt and then livelihood package, financial assistance of initially Php50,000 and then through OWWA (Overseas Workers Welfare Administration) regional offices. Yung initial na Php50,000 will be coming from the DMW’s direct aid to the worker, another Php50,000 will be given by OWWA to the families of the workers,” aniya pa rin.

 

 

Sa isang pulong kasama si Pangulong President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. at delegado nito, sinabi ni Padget na ang kanyang group of companies ay nakatakda nang mag-hire ng  75,000 Filipino seafarers sa susunod na tatlo hanggang apat na taon.

 

 

Kumakatawan din si Padget sa Carnival Cruise Line, Holland American Airlines and Seaborn. Pinuri nito ang mga manggagawang Filipino.

 

 

Sa kabilang dako, ang  MedPro International ay isang industry leader sa “recruitment, training, and  staffing of foreign-educated healthcare professionals.”

 

 

Simula 2006, natulungan na ng kompanya ang libo-libong foreign-educated healthcare professionals na makamit ang kapaki-pakinabang na karera sa Estads Unidos.

 

 

Mayroon namang mahigit sa apat na milyong Filipino immigrants (temporary at permanent) sa Estados Unidos, kumakatawan sa 4th largest immigrant group matapos ang Mexicans, Indians at Chinese.

 

 

Sa pamamagitan ng kanilang remittances, nakapag-ambag ang mga Filipino workers sa  economic development, kapuwa sa Amerika at PIlipinas gamit ang kanilang kasanayan, talento at  pagiging dalubhasa. (Daris Jose)
