37 Philippine Development Plan ( ) 37
38 Chapter 1: In Pursuit of Inclusive Growth Relations with foreign nations shall be actively cultivated to support sovereignty, regional peace and security, and economic cooperation based on equitable and mutual benefit. Paramount consideration shall be paid to the ensuring the welfare and protection of the millions of Filipinos working overseas. In economic terms.. thanks to overseas remittances, surpluses on current account have been running consistently since
39 Chapter 2: Macroeconomic Policy GDP growth averaged 5.6 percent for the period while average GNP growth was higher at 5.9 percent, boosted by transfers from overseas workers.. Overall, consumption fuelled by remittances is the largest and most stable source of growth from the demand side. 39
40 Chapter 2: Macroeconomic Policy This partly reflects the difficulty of gaining employment in the formal labor market and implies a high incidence of informal sector work. In addition, the 43.2 percent educated unemployed out of the total unemployed labor force is also very high, a symptom of the labor mismatch in the country and a factor contributing to the growing deployment of Filipino workers overseas, averaging about 1.1 million per year. 40
41 Chapter 2: Macroeconomic Policy The sheer volume of workers working temporarily overseas indicates the lack of employment opportunities and suggests that domestic investments and entrepreneurship are being held back. These constraints need to be addressed along with strategies formulated to ensure that the working poor and the unemployed can participate and benefit from the development process. 41
42 Chapter 2: Macroeconomic Policy Policymakers will need to focus on leveraging remittances as a tool for economic development. While remittances are private transfers, the government can ensure that the policy environment is conducive to the use of remittances for investment in wellconsidered financial products, in productive activities such as entrepreneurial undertaking as well as in better housing, education, and healthcare for remitters and their beneficiaries. Improving the financial education of the overseas Filipino community and implementing measures to further promote the flow of remittances through the financial system would help catalyze the developmental role of remittances. 42
43 By addressing the country s problem of low competitiveness, this Plan aims to promote higher growth in per capita GDP and boost employment. The focus shall be to enable the industry and services sectors to contribute to massive job generation, provide opportunities for Filipinos to rise above poverty, and ultimately offer a meaningful choice for Filipinos to pursue gainful employment here or abroad. Government shall promote sustainable livelihood and micro enterprise development, harnessing the Overseas Filipinos (OFs) community as a source of capital. Chapter 3: Competitive Industry and Service Sector 43
44 Linkages among Filipino skilled workers and their business network, technical experts and Filipinos involved in epistemic communities abroad shall pursue various multi-stakeholder talentsharing, brain-gain and skills enhancement initiatives. A more aggressive campaign to tap OFs sources of capital shall be pursued..dti and DOLE shall review and strengthen existing programs and consider ways to maximize the brain gain derived by OFs from foreign deployment. The DFA, DOLE, DOF, CFO and the BSP shall conduct financial literary campaign overseas to educate and orient OFs regarding their investment and remittance options. Chapter 3: Competitive Industry and Service Sector 44
45 Likewise, there is a wide variety in the purpose of their loan application: consumption smoothing, financing for educational needs and funds for migration purposes such as placement fees, document processing fees. Hence, these warrant the introduction of financial products specifically designed for this group of borrowers. A Collective Investment Schemes Law (CISL) to broaden investor participation in the securities market, including participation by Overseas Filipinos. Chapter 6: Towards a Resilient and Inclusive Financial System 45
46 Women continue to be burdened by the debilitating impact of poverty and the lingering economic crisis and out-migration among women remains high with many in service and domestic occupations. The challenge remains for government to ensure that statutory mandates relating to gender and development concerns are observed and implemented by all concerned sectors. Chapter 7: Good Governance and Rule of Law 46
47 Improve capacities of prosecutors and law enforcers particularly NBI agents in the investigation and prosecution of special cases involving economic or white collar crimes such as money laundering, tax evasion, smuggling, human trafficking, violations of intellectual property rights and antitrust laws, illegal drugs and even cases involving extralegal killings and other human rights violations as well as violation of environmental laws. Chapter 7: Good Governance and Rule of Law 47
48 While Filipino women may be considered as relatively advanced vis-à-vis women in other developing countries.., they also suffer from domestic violence, economic disadvantages, discrimination at the workplace, exploitation as migrant workers. In general, women are in disadvantaged position due to differences in gender roles that limit their access to productive resources and basic services. In 2008, 54.7 percent of the total number of female OFWs were laborers and unskilled workers, including domestic helpers, cleaners and manufacturing laborers. Remittances from female OFWs worldwide were relatively lower than from their male counterparts. Chapter 8: Social Development 48
49 Social security and protection of OFWs are growing concerns given the limited coverage of the SSS, PHILHEALTH and Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA). Implement mandatory SSS coverage for land-based OFWs and include SSS enrolment as prerequisite in the issuance of the Overseas Employment Certificate. Strengthen measures again human trafficking and provide support for its victims. Strengthen safety nets for OFWs.Institute dialogues and forge agreement to further strengthen cooperation with labor-receiving countries towards mutual protection and benefits for the OFWs. Chapter 8: Social Development 49
50 Campaign for other countries to ratify international conventions, treaties, standards and protocols that are relevant to the protection and promotion of the rights and well-being of Overseas Filipinos. Institute dialogues and forge agreements to further strengthen cooperation with labor-receiving countries towards mutual protection and benefits for the OFWs. Make the education system responsive to the needs of the global community, while minimizing brain drain, encouraging brain gain and protecting the Filipino family from the social costs of migration; and Encouraging Filipinos overseas to remain rooted in their culture through an appreciation of Filipino languages, culture and heritage. Chapter 8: Social Development 50
51 Strengthen safety nets for OFWs: a) intensify the effort for OWWA membership enrollment and renewal; and b) Institute dialogues and forge agreements to further strengthen cooperation with labor-receiving countries towards mutual protection and benefits for the OFWs. Chapter 8: Social Development 51
52 The overseas Diaspora of Filipino entails a wider redefinition and understanding of threats to Filipino interests. In particular, the predicament of overseas Filipinos who come into conflict with the laws of other countries poses complex new challenges to the country s conduct of foreign relations, with potential repercussions on issues of sovereignty and territorial integrity. A comprehensive response to these concerns involves initiatives to improve relations and forge cooperation with other nations to preserve and protect national security and interest, including the welfare of Filipinos living and working abroad. Chapter 9: Peace and Security 52
