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。

South Korea's National Assembly passed a 26.2 trillion-won ($17.7 billion) extra budget bill on April 10 to address economic fallout from the Middle East conflict, with a 214-11 vote. The ruling Democratic Party and opposition People Power Party agreed to maintain the government's proposed size. About 35.8 million people will receive cash payments ranging from 100,000 to 600,000 won based on income and region.

The Philippine government would need P429 billion to fund support and relief if the Middle East conflict extends until December, according to the Department of Economy, Planning and Development. Secretary Arsenio Balisacan presented the estimates at yesterday's Senate PROTECT committee hearing. The measures include transport support, fuel and fertilizer subsidies, and social protection for the poor.

The Department of Budget and Management has identified P238 billion in funding to support the government's response to the ongoing global oil crisis, under President Marcos's directive. DBM Secretary Rolando Toledo shared this during a House committee on ways and means hearing on April 8. It comes alongside a mandated 20 percent cut in non-essential government spending.

Following its April announcement, the South Korean government started distributing cash aid on April 26 to basic livelihood security recipients and other vulnerable groups to offset rising oil prices from the Middle East conflict. Aid amounts are 550,000 won ($372) for basic livelihood recipients and 450,000 won per person for single-parent households and those just above the welfare threshold, with an extra 50,000 won for recipients outside Seoul or in declining population areas.
