海外劳工福利管理局寻求120亿比索资金以遣返海外菲律宾劳工

海外劳工福利管理局(OWWA)正向预算管理部申请额外120亿比索的资金,用于援助受中东危机影响的海外菲律宾劳工的遣返与安置工作。OWWA局长Patricia Yvonne Caunan表示,该机构本年度的预算拨款已使用了55%。截至上周五,已有6706名菲律宾人被遣返回国。

在周一的新闻发布会上,OWWA局长Patricia Yvonne Caunan透露,该机构本年度紧急遣返基金的拨款已消耗了55%。这促使他们向预算管理部申请追加预算,以覆盖遣返和重新安置计划。

“这就是为什么我们向预算管理部申请追加预算,用于该机构的紧急遣返基金及重新安置工作,”Caunan说。她指出,2026年OWWA仅收到12亿比索的拨款,与往年未发生大规模危机时的情况相比显得不足。

作为UPLIFT委员会的一部分,OWWA会根据受影响海外劳工的情况定期进行预测。她解释说:“我们讨论当前局势,并基于模拟进行预测,因为我们需要为最坏的情况做好准备。”

遣返费用包括机票、酒店住宿、临时住所、餐费、国内航班、即时经济援助以及安置支持。她补充道:“我们讨论的是遣返方案或遣返个人的成本,其中包括遣返前和遣返后的费用。”截至上周五,已有6706名菲律宾人被遣返回国,其中包括5023名海外劳工、其家属及其他海外菲律宾人。
