In a discussion paper, state-run think tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies said the return of overseas Filipino workers since last year should be a reminder for the government to improve social protection and resilient sources of livelihood for OFWs.

MANILA, Philippines — Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) identified graft and corruption as part of their “priority issues” for the upcoming presidential elections, a study by De La Salle University professor Ma. Divina Gracia Roldan showed.

 

Roldan said “corruption ranks first, this is seen as the main problem in the country.”

 

“The participants expressed that if corruption is eliminated, there will be more budget for health, education and livelihood programs, poverty will be addressed. They also think that the country will develop and there will be no need for them to go abroad to work,” Roldan said in a webinar organized by the La Salle Institute of Governance on Friday.
