Welcome to MigrantWorkersOffice.com, the online hub dedicated to englighten Filipinos about procedures under the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) in the Philippines. Our mission is to empower, support, and protect Filipino migrant workers around the world by providing essential resources, services, and guidance to help them navigate the challenges of working abroad.
We understand the sacrifices and hardships our fellow Filipinos face while working overseas. Our team is dedicated to making a positive impact on their lives by offering comprehensive information, assistance, and advocacy.
About OFWs
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) are Filipinos who work in other countries to earn a living. They are a vital part of the Filipino economy, contributing billions of Philippine Pesos every year through their remittances. Despite their importance to our nation, OFWs often face difficult challenges abroad due to a lack of access to proper legal and social support systems.
The DMW exists as a line of defense for these overseas workers. By providing assistance and advocating on their behalf, we strive to ensure that they are treated with respect and dignity while abroad. Our goal is to empower OFWs so they can lead better lives and realize their full potential.
We invite you to explore MigrantWorkersOffice.com and discover all the ways in which we can help you get the most out of your experience as a migrant worker. With our tools and resources, we hope to make the lives of OFWs easier and more rewarding.
About the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW)
The DMW is a newly set-up department in the Philippines that is devoted to the welfare and well-being of OFWs. The team consists of legal experts, labor advocates, social workers, and other professionals from various fields who specialize in addressing the unique needs of Filipino migrant workers.
The DMW is a merged department of a number of Philippine agencies catering to OFWs, including:
- The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA)
- the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO)
- Migrant Workers and Other Overseas Filipino Resources Center (MWOFRC)
- Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA)
- Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) – all POLO offices have been converted to MWO offices.
Our Purpose
Because the agency is still new, not much information is available yet about this specific office. At MigrantWorkersOffice.com, we will provide you with essential information on how to access the services of DMW, as well as how we can help OFWs in their journey abroad. We invite you to join us in this mission to empower and support Filipino migrant workers around the world. We aim to bridge the gap between Filipino migrant workers and the government agencies that cater to their needs.
We are committed to providing accurate, up-to-date, and reliable information to Filipino migrant workers, ensuring they are well informed about their rights and the resources available to them. Our team works tirelessly to create an inclusive and supportive environment where every migrant worker feels valued and empowered.
