On April 26, a violent attack took place at the Lapu-Lapu Day festival in Vancouver — an event meant to honour Filipino heritage and community. At least 11 people were killed, and many others injured. In the days since, members of the Filipino community in Canada and their allies have been coming together to grieve, reflect, and support one another through this difficult time. This week on rabble radio, labour reporter Gabriela Calugay-Casuga spoke with Zuha Zubair from Migrante Ottawa to reflect on the recent Lapu Lapu Day tragedy in Vancouver, and to shed light on the often-overlooked struggles faced by Filipino migrants in Canada. About our guest  Zuha Zubair is a Filipino and a community organizer with Migrante Ottawa, a chapter of an international migrants organization fighting for national liberation and genuine democracy in the Philippines. Zubair was born in the Maldives to parents who were overseas Filipino workers, known as OFWs. She came to Canada in 2019 as an international student and is currently pursuing a masters' degree in anthropology. Zubair's research focuses on overseas Filipino workers and the political connections they have to the Philippines.

Key Highlights: Introduction of the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW): Lou explains the recent establishment of the DMW in the Philippines, which now handles the affairs of Filipinos working abroad. This department evolved from the Philippine Overseas Employment Agency, centralizing services under one department. Understanding Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs): Discussion on the concept of OFWs, their importance to the Philippine economy, and the legal framework that defines and governs their employment abroad. Exit Visa Requirements: A comprehensive overview of the Philippine government's requirements for Filipinos working overseas, including the necessity for exit clearances and how these regulations impact both workers and their foreign employers. Direct Hiring Ban and Exemptions: Insight into the Philippine Labor Code's stipulations against direct hiring by foreign employers and the specific exemptions that allow for direct recruitment under certain conditions. Enforcement Mechanisms: Lou discusses how the Philippine government enforces compliance with employment regulations for OFWs, including blacklisting non-compliant employers and recruitment agencies. Implications for Employers and Workers: Practical advice for both employers and Filipino workers on navigating the complexities of compliance to ensure smooth and legal employment practices. Conclusion: This episode sheds light on the critical but often misunderstood regulations affecting Filipino workers abroad. Understanding these rules is essential for ensuring compliance and avoiding legal pitfalls in the recruitment and employment of OFWs.

Overseas Filipino Workers or OFWs have long been dubbed as the Philippines' modern-day heroes. They leave family and friends, their comfort zones, their culture and homes behing to try their luck in foreign and far-flung countries, hoping to earn a better living than from the few opportunities offered back home.In July 2022, Jullebee Cabilis Ranara, a native of Las Piñas decided to try her luck again in Kuwait after a successful stint in Bahrain some years before. In the early days of her stay with her Kuwaiti employer, there had already been signs that Jullebee may not have been entirely safe. Six months later, she would be found dead in a desert and the way she was found sent shockwaves through Kuwait and the Philippines alike.But here is the thing...Jullebee was not the first and only one who was murdered in Kuwait. She was, in a way, the culmination of a series of deaths that would ultimately make Filipinos question their own government and whether it really was capable of keeping OFWs safe abroad.Jullebee's story is also the story of Joanna Demafelis, Constancia Lago Dayag and Jeanelyn Villavende.

Sa harap ng kaliwa't kanang pag-atake sa karapatan at kagalingan ng mga migranteng Pilipino, nariyan naman ang kwento ng pag-oorganisa, pagkakaisa, at pagdadamayan lalo sa panahon ng pangangailangan. Sa podkumentaryong ito, kilalanin natin ang mga kwento ng mga migranteng Pilipino, na sa gitna ng sarili nilang mga kinakaharap na pagsubok, ay tinanggap ang hamon ng panahon. (Amid the numerous attacks on the rights and welfare of Filipino migrants, stories of organizing, unity and solidarity emerge especially during difficult times. In this podcast-documentary, let us hear the stories of migrant Filipinos who continue to soldier on despite the personal struggles that they have to go through.)

In this episode, Bonnibel Rambatan talks to to Teo S. Marasigan, Filipino activist and New Naratif's researcher, and Zelda Santos, a domestic worker and volunteer of a help desk for distressed OFWs in the United Arab Emirates, about the history of OFWs, how the government ended up aggressively exporting Filipinos, how did people decided to be one, bagong bayani narrative from the government, help desk for OFWs from OFWs, and who are the beneficiaries of this phenomenon.

In this episode, I speak with Rebecca Kersch, Founder and CEO of TANGapp, a remittance and payments company that helps overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in the US send money to the Philippines. Rebecca grew up in the US and the Netherlands, spent many summers visiting her family in the Philippines, and has studied and lived all over the world. Rebecca started her career in management consulting - the same one as me actually, and we crossed paths again when we were both doing our Masters at Harvard. Rebecca started TANGapp in 2020 to help OFWs send money back to their loved ones in the Philippines and has grown into the payments space since. TANGapp is currently raising a seed round, and I'm happy to share that my women-focused angel investing syndicate, Findicate, is one of the participants. You can learn more about TANGapp by visting tangapp.org, and you can learn more about Findicate by shooting an email to findicateangels@gmail.com. p.s. Here's the link to the Dana Kanze TED Talk mentioned by Rebecca in the podcast.

That's what we all like to think, but for many Filipino families, there is an invisible pressure that comes with Christmas. In a recent Filipino Bisaya podcast episode from Barok and Takya, this unspoken pressure was discussed by these two Pinoy podcast hosts. Let's explore why so many Filipinos feel overwhelmed during the holiday season, from Ninong and Ninang (Godparents) to Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs or OFW Pinoy).    The Challenges Faced by Ninong and Ninang (Godparents) During Christmas    Barok said that for many Filipino families, it is customary for godparents (Ninong and Ninang) to give gifts to their godchildren on special occasions such as birthdays or even Christmas. Unfortunately, this custom has placed a lot of financial pressure on many godparents who struggle financially themselves but still feel obligated to give gifts or offer financial support in other ways. To make matters worse, there is a perception of shame if godparents do not fulfill these obligations, leaving them even more stressed.     The Challenges Faced by OFWs During Christmas    On top of that, according to Takya, many OFW Pinoy struggles to send money back home during the holidays as they are already working hard to provide for their immediate family's needs. Therefore, they must prioritize appropriately and make tough decisions when it comes to who gets the money first - their family members or extended family members. This often results in guilt, stress, and anxiety among OFWs as they try to make sure everyone is taken care of during this special time of year.      Conclusion:    As you can hear from just this brief discussion between Barok and Takya, there is much more going on behind the scenes than meets the eye when it comes to Christmas in the Philippines. It's important that we continue having conversations like these to gain insight into how our fellow Filipinos feel during this special time of year. Christmas may be filled with joy for many people. Still, it can also be a stressful period for those who are struggling financially or physically unable to be with their families due to work commitments overseas or other reasons. We should all take a moment this holiday season to acknowledge the difficulties faced by our fellow Filipinos both at home and abroad so that we can better understand how we can come together as one community in spite of our differences. Let us strive towards creating an environment where everyone feels supported regardless of their circumstances - that way, and we can all enjoy the true spirit of Christmas together!

Glenda has worked as an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW Pinoy) in Saudi Arabia for almost two years. She left her two children in the Philippines so that she could provide them with a better life. It's been a tough road for her, but she's never given up. In this Filipino Bisaya Podcast episode, Kwentong OFW Pinoy in Saudi Arabia: Never Giving Up - we'll hear Glenda's story and learn about the struggles and determination of being an OFW.   Leaving her two children was the hardest thing Glenda ever had to do. But she did it for their future. She wanted to give them a better life than she had. "It's hard work being an OFW Pinoy. But it's even harder away from your kids," she says. "I sometimes cry when I think about them. I miss them so much."   Despite the challenges, Glenda has never given up. She knows that her sacrifice will be worth it in the end. "I'm doing this for my children," she says. "I want to make sure they have a bright future."    What Can We Learn From Glenda's Story in our Pinoy Bisaya Podcast episode - Kwentong OFW Pinoy in Saudi Arabia: Never Giving Up? There are several lessons we can learn from Glenda's story. First and foremost, our dreams are within reach as long as we never give up on them. Despite the challenges faced by OFWs, they continue working hard because they know that their sacrifices will eventually pay off.  Second, even in tough times, our loved ones will always be there for us. One of the things that help Glenda get through tough times is knowing that her kids are waiting for her back home. They provide her with the motivation she needs to keep going. Finally, helping others achieve their dreams is one of the most rewarding things we can do. By sharing Glenda's story in the Barok and Takya Bisaya Podcast, we hope to inspire other OFWs who might be facing similar challenges."   Conclusion:  Glenda is just one of the many unsung heroes in our world. The struggles and determination of an OFW Pinoy in Saudi Arabia is an inspiring story about a mother's love for her children and her determination to provide them with a better life. If you're feeling down, remember Glenda's story in our podcast and be reminded that there is always hope. Things will get better if you never give up on your dreams.   Are you a fan of the Barok and Takya Bisaya Podcast?

OFWs often feel isolated and alone, especially when they're thousands of miles away from their families.    OFWs are the unsung heroes of the Philippines. They are some of the most hardworking and resilient people in the world. They face challenges and struggles that most of us can only imagine daily. But they don't give up. They keep fighting for their families and their dreams. They leave their families and homes to work in foreign countries, often in difficult and dangerous conditions, to provide a better life for their loved ones. Yet, they are often invisible - distant family members only hear about the good times, the remittances that help to pay for school fees and put food on the table. But Filipino OFW also face many challenges, as our guest, Juna Langgam explains in this Kwentong OFW episode of Barok and Takya Bisaya Podcast. From homesickness, isolation, and missing out on important family events, OFWs sacrifice a lot for their families. But they also gain strength and resilience from their experiences, as Juna describes. Her story is an inspiration to OFWs everywhere. They are strong, determined, and passionate people who deserve our respect and admiration. Thank you, OFWs, for everything that you do!   Barok and Takya Bisaya Podcast provides a powerful platform for OFW Pinoy to share their stories and experiences. This Kwentong OFW episode offers much-needed insight into the lives of OFWs and will hopefully inspire others to support them.
