The implementation of Singapore's labor management framework for migrant workers could be best replicated in some countries where overseas Filipino workers are being employed, Senator Raffy Tulfo said on Tuesday.

Tulfo commended Singapore's recognition of the migrant workers' "great contributions" to their economy, citing that the implementation of policies addressing maltreatment, abuses, and other human rights violations against migrant workers has been effective in urging OFWs to do their jobs better. 

This came after Singaporean Ambassador to the Philippines, Constance See, met with Tulfo at the Senate premises on 11 December to discuss the plight of OFWs in Singapore.

During her visit, See praised the Filipino workers' diligence and perseverance to complete their jobs.

Under the Labor Management Framework, Singaporean labor officers regularly visit and check the conditions of each migrant worker employed in their country to make sure they are safe from abusive employers. 

See shared that Singaporean law requires migrant workers' employers to undergo seminars and training before they are allowed to employ overseas workers. 

Tulfo, who chairs the Senate Committee on Migrant Workers, seeks a similar policy to be implemented in other countries, particularly in the Middle East—where many Filipinos are currently being employed.

"Singapore can be considered a model country for other countries to emulate," the senator said.
