MANILA—Senate President Pro Tempore Ralph Recto on Saturday called for better treatment of Filipino migrant workers after reports of OFWs sleeping on an airport pavement went viral.

“They deserve a red carpet treatment, not a sidewalk reception,” Recto said in a statement. "Disturbing scenes such as these should now be a thing of the past."

Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana on Friday said repatriated Filipino workers will only stay in Manila for a maximum of 5 days before they are taken to their provinces, as the government aims to fast-track the arrival of other returning citizens. For the policy to be successfully enforced, “present testing and transportation capacities must increase together with the number of personnel,” the senator said.“Kung kulang ng tao na sasalubong at aalalay sa kanila, pwedeng mag-hire. Halimbawa, kung mayroong mga sweeper flights sa ere, kailangan din ng mga sweeper teams on the ground na dadalhin sa mga hotels yung mga OFWs na natutulog sa sidewalk,” Recto noted.

Dpt tong owwa matanggal din eh. Sino ba nmam kc head nyan!!! Apaka wlang puso

To make the arriving OFWs sleep on the sidewalk is wrong! Aren’t they ‘heroes’ anymore just because they are jobless?

Ano na OWWA?

PROJECT of MOCHA USON, the Undersecretary of OWWA

Paano sila naging bagong bayani? Nagpapadala sila ng pera para sa pamilya nila at hindi sa gobyerno.

These men and women were dumped back to their home country after they had become a liability/useless to their foreign employers and then we’d shat on them upon return by making them sleep in the sidewalk. Late-stage capitalism indeed.

Sadly our authorities will only act on this when brought to media attention.

UNSUNG HEROES' IS JUST A WORD. TO THE GOVT. IT'S A MATTER OF LIP SERVICE. BULLSHT. Hans Cacdac is an INCOMPETENT OWWA official. He must GO. Let the competent people do the job.

Sana ang mga LGU sa mindanao papasukin na sila. Ex.ang gensan nagcancelled last friday daming naperhisyo,oo given na yung covid,may protocol nman dapat sundin. Sana may action na.

Unless the Government fix their shit, i will never consider going back home.

Hoi Recto VIP treatment yan para sa DDS... wag ka na umepal

Jusko! MochaUson Anuna?

nasaan na si mocha uson di pa nasa owwa siya pang fake news lang pala magaling si mocha

😭

priority nila ang martial law este anti terror vasher law.. para vusalan ang mga kritiko ng adminsitratiob sa future failures. san kapa amazing

Lol!

kung totoo man, bakit kailangan mangyari ito? alam ng karamihan na maraming magbalikan na OFW, kaninong tungkulin ito? Di ba kailangan nila iquarantine at manatili sa tamang lugar? Kawawang mga OFW, estranghero na sa ibang bansa pati sa sariling bayan😕😕😕

That is the modern hero for the Philippines, nakakabagabag talaga ng damdamin, bakit kailangang pagusapan pa kung ano gagawin sa kanila, dapat en pronto dalhin sila sa maayos na matutuluyan, huwag ng dumakdak.

,😢🥺😥😢

Abs cge salsalin mo pa lahat ng issue na ikasasama ng imahe ng gobyerno. Kaya kayo pinasara.

Pekeng photo 😂😂😂 Kaumay talagang ABS nato hahaha. R.I.P

ralphrecto pwede po ba paki kalampag si MochaUson masyado na pong mahimbing ang pagkakatulog eh nakalimutan may trabaho sya 😳

OMG OFW are called the New Heroes but they don’t deserve this kind of treatment ,please they need a better place to stay...

Siguro kung ikaw mismo ay tutulong sa isang concerto paraan baka maniwala ako gusto mo ng tumolong. Uwi mo sila sa Inyo. Di ba ikaw ang gobyerno

Hoy MochaUson trabaho mo ito👆🏻

attyharryroque sir ito n po yung VIP treatment n sinasabi nyo.

The kind of VIP treatment Mr. Roque is claiming

Instead of calling it out why don't you do something about it? you are the senate president pro tempore. unless puro puna lang talaga trabaho nyo?
