We want to acknowledge all the hard work of our people, as well as the support of our social partners in fulfilling our mandate,” Bello said. With the “Kaagapay sa Matapat, Malinis at Maasahang Serbisyo,” the observance also highlighted the reaffirmed commitment of the department to exemplify the highest standards of ethics and excellence in advancing the rights and welfare of Filipino workers. DOLE’s major accomplishments under the current administration include winning the war against il- legal contractualization, along with its intensified implementation of labor laws and standards, and occupational health and safety in workplaces. The labor department has also improved the services to safeguard the welfare and interest of overseas Fili- pino workers. DOLE employees who have been working in the department for 25 years or more were conferred with loyalty award in recognition of their efforts and dedication to public service. WE SERVE THE PEOPLE.

  • Diaspora Philanthropy: the Philippine Experience
    Diaspora Philanthropy: The Philippine Experience ______________________________________________________________________ Victoria P. Garchitorena President The Ayala Foundation, Inc. May 2007 _________________________________________ Prepared for The Philanthropic Initiative, Inc. and The Global Equity Initiative, Harvard University Supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation ____________________________________________ Diaspora Philanthropy: The Philippine Experience I . The Philippine Diaspora Major Waves of Migration The Philippines is a country with a long and vibrant history of emigration. In 2006 the country celebrated the centennial of the first surge of Filipinos to the United States in the very early 20th Century. Since then, there have been three somewhat distinct waves of migration. The first wave began when sugar workers from the Ilocos Region in Northern Philippines went to work for the Hawaii Sugar Planters Association in 1906 and continued through 1929. Even today, an overwhelming majority of the Filipinos in Hawaii are from the Ilocos Region. After a union strike in 1924, many Filipinos were banned in Hawaii and migrant labor shifted to the U.S. mainland (Vera Cruz 1994). Thousands of Filipino farm workers sailed to California and other states. Between 1906 and 1930 there were 120,000 Filipinos working in the United States. The Filipinos were at a great advantage because, as residents of an American colony, they were regarded as U.S. nationals. However, with the passage of the Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934, which officially proclaimed Philippine independence from U.S. rule, all Filipinos in the United States were reclassified as aliens. The Great Depression of 1929 slowed Filipino migration to the United States, and Filipinos sought jobs in other parts of the world.

  • Why Filipino Migrants Remit? Evidence from a Home-Host Country Matched Sample
    DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS ISSN 1441-5429 DISCUSSION PAPER 09/12 Why Filipino Migrants Remit? Evidence from a Home-Host Country Matched Sample James Ted McDonald* and Ma. Rebecca Valenzuela† Abstract This paper uses a unique matched survey dataset to directly test remittance models using information from both remittance-sending and remittance-receiving households. Our results show that the decision to remit is strongly affected by both home and host country factors with altruism motive as an ubiquitous underlying element. We find that men’s behaviour is mainly influenced by their capacity to remit, not so for women. Further we show that job-to-skill mismatching is widespread among Filipinos overseas and depresses women’s remittances by over fifty per cent. Clearly, the economic and social losses associated with this kind of labour market outcome are significant. JEL: J240, J610, O150 Keywords: Remittances, Immigrants, * James Ted McDonald Department of Economics, University of New Brunswick, Canada † Dr. Rebecca Valenzuela Email: [email protected] Department of Economics, Monash University, VIC, Australia © 2012 James Ted McDonald and Rebecca Valenzuela All rights reserved.

INTRODUCTION Migrant workers from all over the world send remittances to their families in their countries of origin. These generally refer to monies that are transmitted to households by workers who find employment outside their home economies. Since remittances directly increase the income of a migrant‟s family back home, they have become a vital source of financial support for meeting daily consumption needs.
