Up to 40,000 Filipino seamen will be losing their jobs due to the slump in world trade due to the economic crisis. This means that 40,000 Filipino families will be losing their main source of living.
What is the Philippine government doing to prepare for the home coming of tens of thousands of Overseas Filipino workers comprising of Engineers, doctors, nurses, seamen, welders, technicians and many more? Will the government be sending back abroad again? Just leave them in recession? Your guess is as good as mine.
