Thirty (30) distressed and stranded Filipino migrant workers, all women, yesterday staged a picket in front of the Philippine Embassy-run shelter in Jordan to press for their repatriation, according to party-list group #96MIGRANTE, representing Filipino migrant workers and their families.

“We have received reports yesterday from our Migrante colleagues that around 30 women OFWs, all distressed and stranded, have staged a peaceful demonstration in front of the Philippine Embassy-run shelter in Amman, Jordan,” said John Leonard Monterona, Vice chairperson of #96MIGRANTE partylist group.

Monterona added that the peaceful demonstration went well after the 30 distressed and stranded OFWs for about an hour stands and stayed in front of the PH embassy-run shelter with a banner written on it says, “Justice for Filipinos. Please give freedom for us to go back home in the Philippines.”

“Per insider’s information, there are still more than 40 distressed OFWs temporarily staying at the PH embassy Filipino Workers Resource Center (FWRC) since 4thquarter of 2012. They’re different from the 30 who have staged a peaceful demonstration yesterday,” Monterona added.

Monterona further said some of the 30 distressed and stranded OFWs have previously sought assistance with PH embassy and labor officials for their repatriation but were told ‘to stay at outside or on their accommodations because the FWRC can’t anymore accommodate them,’ some of the distressed and stranded OFWs were quoted as saying.

“We have been campaigning for their repatriation since early last year. The distressed and stranded OFWs calls for free and swift mass repatriation were ignored by the PNoy administration and the supposed concerned government agencies such as the DFA, DoLE-OWWA are not taking actions, if not dilly-dallying, on their mass repatriation,” Monterona lamented.

Monterona further said, “Noting the surge of the numbers of distressed and stranded OFWs not only in Saudi Arabia where there are nearly 3,000 have camped out beside the PH Consulate building in Jeddah since April 10, and yesterday the 30 stranded women OFWs in Jordan stage a peaceful demonstration, the PNoy govt. should seriously and sincerely act on the mass repatriation of the stranded OFWs in the Middle East.”

Monterona said PNoy should ask the DFA and DoLE to submit a comprehensive report on the numbers of all distressed OFWs temporarily staying at PH embassy or consulate-run Filipino Workers Resource Centers and Bahay Kalingas. “PNoy should order DFA and DoLE to fast track the mass repatriation of all the distressed and stranded staying at PH shelters in the Middle East.”

“That’s why #96 MIGRANTE is vying for a seat in PH Congress via the party-list system. We will be in a better position if we have representative(s) in Congress who will seriously attend and push for free and swift mass repatriation of the distressed and stranded Filipino migrant workers most of them are in the Middle East,”Monterona averred.

“Direct on-site services for OFWs and their dependents, protection for women OFWs and their children, stop or at least minimize all forms of illegal recruitment and trafficking, stop all forms of govt. exactions and fees, repeal anti-migrants laws and policies, pass laws that will help domestic job generations over labor export program of the government –these are some of the Migrants’ Agenda #96 MIGRANTE is committed to work and materialize,” Monterona ended. # # #
