The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines urged the creation of an inter-agency body “to synchronize efforts among government agencies, civil society, and Filipino organizations in the United States” amid heightened risks of looming mass deportations.
Trump announced plans to “deport all immigrants” residing in the US illegally in his four-year term and took executive action on his first day back in office to end birthright citizenship, which currently grants citizenship to anyone born in the US regardless of their parents’ immigration status. TUCP, one of the Philippines’ largest trade unions, affirmed its readiness to collaborate with the Marcos administration “to protect and promote the welfare” of Filipinos in the US.
“We strongly advocate for a unified, coherent response, ranging from legal assistance to reintegration services, not only to enable the government to effectively oversee these initiatives but also to empower our kababayan with a one-stop shop for accessible and comprehensive services,” Corral said.
