The latest joint labor conference between Taiwan and the Philippines closed on a positive note on Tuesday, reaching consensus on several issues affecting Filipino migrant workers.
Co-chaired in Manila by Taiwan Labor Minister Lin Mei-chu and Philippine Secretary of Labor and Employment Silvestre Bello III, the meeting centered on four key issues, Taiwan Apple Daily reported.
According to a statement by Taiwan’s Ministry of Labor, the Philippine government agreed to look for financial resources to cover any outstanding medical expenses incurred in Taiwan by its migrant workers, while any outstanding fees and fines caused by runaway workers shall be settled by public donations.
Second, the Philippines will also review and explore the possibility of unifying the authentication of labor contracts and salary declarations.
Concerning health issues, the two governments agreed to step up efforts on providing measures to prevent drug abuse.
Regarding the employment of Filipino fishermen, both governments will continue to review and negotiate any fees incurred. At present, referral and administrative fees are required by the Philippine government and solely shouldered by the Taiwanese employers, the Real Daily reported.
As of the end of June, the number of Filipino migrant workers in Taiwan was 144,439, most of them engaged as factory workers or in the healthcare sector as caretakers.

Jason Ang bkitvikaw ssagot sa. Labor kaba suggestion lng yon tanga
Jason Ang opinion ko lang nmn po yun, kalaki ng matipid ng factory worker kung walang Broker po. Kung sa POEA mg-apply po Factory Worker then po ba? At Taiwan lang nmn po ang may Broker.
Eh bakit di ka na lang dun pumunta at magtrabaho sa HK? ????????
Ayaw mo pala ng broker, bakit ka nag apply sa ahensya? Eh di mag apply ka sa POEA para direct.
Proud of u Vena..

Implement nyo kaya na isali sa dagdag sahod ang mga caretaker para matuwa naman kmi!
lessen the service fee please they should abolish or lessen of at least nt500 monthly. 1500 is way too much and yet they do nothing after paper works are done and yet they were paid already by our employers. ni maghatid nga sa airport maniningil pa yung broker ng fee. abusado yung mga brokers eh.
