LDAP REGIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT 2016

Accomplishment Target

A livelihood program intended to aide irregular/ undocumented Overseas Filipino Workers in reducing

their “socio-economic vulnerability” by helping them to start or expand their micro-business undertakings. The

program provides them with Php 10,000 worth of livelihood assistance in form of starter kits that will enable

them to establish their business. Beneficiaries of this program are also provided with Financial Awareness

Seminar and Small Business Management Training where they will be taught on how to plan, start and operate

their business.

The LDAP started in 2011 as a livelihood grant for OFWs who are either repatriated from jobsites

abroad, terminated from their work due to extraordinary and unforeseen events, or those who finished their

work abroad but decided to stay in the Philippines. From its onset up to 2013, OWWA managed the program

while the grant was sourced from NRCO.

In 2016, a total of 735 undocumented OFW returnees were provided with livelihood starter kits under

LDAP. This makes the LDAP implementation rate 102.37% exceeding its targets for 2016 by 2.37%. 13 out of

16 Regional Offices have already reached and even exceeded their annual target namely NCR, CAR, R2, R3, R4A,

R4B, R5, R7, R8, R9, R10, R12 and CARAGA. Region 12 gathered the highest accomplishment with 221 versus

200 annual target. Second is R3 with 70 actual accomplishment versus 60 annual target. For third; R4A, CAR

and CARAGA with 50 actual accomplishment versus 50 annual target. Meanwhile, progress is underway for Re-

gional Offices 6, and 11 who gathered almost the needed target.

lowed by an orientation regarding the agencies programs and services, later the partici-

pants were toured around the vicinity and have been also encouraged that whatever they

have seen there can be started in their very own backyard. RD Del Socorro stated that his

D.) DIASPORA ENGAGEMENT

• “Diaspora Engagement” is an initiative that was proposed to gather relevant partners to lay

down strategies in facilitating stronger diaspora involvement. For the DOLE, this is a proactive

strategy to link those in the diaspora to national development through activities as brain gain or

circulation and savings and investment. This will complement the reintegration program which

currently focuses on the distressed and displaced OFWs.

Main speaker, IOM National Programme Officer Ricardo Casco who discussed the potentials of the diaspora and the role of the government in engaging, enabling, and empowering the diaspora.

(OWWA), Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA),

Bureau of Local Employment (BLE), DOLE-National Capital Region,

Institure for Labor Studies (ILS), International Labour Affairs Bureau

The main speaker was IOM National Programme Officer Ri-

cardo Casco who discussed the potentials of the diaspora and the role

of the government in engaging, enabling, and empowering the dias-

pora.

To illustrate best practices and lessons learned in managing a

diaspora brain gain program, Department of Science and Technology-

PCCAARD Director Reynaldo Ebora presented the Balik Scientist pro-

gram.

CFO could further collaborate. It could be recalled that the Office of

Emigrant Affairs, in- charged of maintaining close ties with Filipino

migrant communities and promoting re-integration of migrants into

national mainstream was then with the Ministry of Labor before the

function was transferred to the CFO through Batas Pambansa Bilang

program in communities where there are a number of OFWs. In

Hong Kong, the POLO entered into a partnership with Enrich, it is

ment or in starting a small business in the Philippines.
