Protection Of Migrant Workers Intensified
There are no accurate statistics on the extent of abuses committed by foreign employers on their foreign workers, Vice President Jejomar C. Binay said on Tuesday.
At the 23rd Conference of the Presidents of Law Associations in Asia at a hotel in Pasay City, Binay said that the documentation and data-gathering are hampered mainly by the lack of cooperation by host countries.
Statistics also do not reflect foreign workers who went through clandestine channels and without authorization do not appear in the rosters of workers of their country of origin.
