“FFW is committed to working with the government and other stakeholders to safeguard the welfare and dignity of workers in the Philippines and in the region,” FFW National Vice President Jun Mendoza Ramirez said. FFW made the pronouncement after the Philippine National Police rescued over 919 foreigners from a cyber marketing firm linked to human trafficking at the Clark Freeport Zone last week.FFW lauded the PNP for the successful operation shutting down the criminal network “which has preyed upon innocent workers for the traffickers’ own gain.”
“There is the principle of reciprocity. We should treat foreign workers in our shores the same way we want OFWs to be treated in other parts of the world,” the labor leader said.
