 The Coalition of Licensed Agencies for Domestic and Service Workers (CLADS) will give full protection to household service workers (HSWs) through the establishment of Welfare Help Desks from licensed Philippine Recruitment Agencies (PRA) as stated in a memorandum of understanding.  It will also provide DOLE, the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration and the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (OWWA) access in monitoring the status of CLAD members and their workers on their respective host countries.  On the occasion of the celebration of Migrant Workers Day attended by Labor Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III early this week, the said agreement was signed .  “This will help the labor department and our agencies in ensuring the protection and safety of our Filipino migrant workers on their workplace abroad. We thank our partners from the licensed agencies for their initiative to lend assistance to the government and serve our modern day heroes,” Bello said.Based on the agreement, OWWA will comprehensively train the designated Welfare Desk Officers (WDOs) under CLADS and it includes providing them  with relevant information and communication materials.

POEA will serve as a supervisor and monitor the PRA member of CLADS on their compliance to POEA rules and regulations; integrate monitoring and reporting requirements and provision of welfare assistance to OFWs in the Continuing Agency Education Program (CAEP) for licensed agencies.  One of the duties of CLADS is to report any form of incident relating to the employment of worker to OWWA and POEA  including actions taken to assist the worker; and provide WDO other necessary support services.  “We look forward to the success of the MOU since majority of the welfare cases we received here in OWWA came from domestic workers who experience maltreatment, contract violation, sexual abuse, harassment, and other infraction of their rights. The government and the recruitment agencies both have the responsibility to take good care of our modern day Filipino heroes,” OWWA administrator Hans Leo Cacdac said.
