| The MOA was signed recently in Davao City by the Philippine Overseas
Employment Administration (POEA), the Overseas Workers Welfare
Administration (OWWA), the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) Davao
City chapter, the Ateneo Legal Services Office, the University of Mindanao
Legal Aid Office, and the Southern Philippines Federation of Labor (SPFL). |
| -Provide OFWs and other interested parties with information materials,
including appropriate laws, relative to overseas employment and illegal
recruitment; |
| Utah Legal Services would tell the a woman calling for legal
assistance that they could only help if the woman were willing
to make an allegation of abuse. Jane said she was amazed at how
often that within 5 or 10 minutes of referring women to Utah
Legal Services the women called back saying, I need to report
abuse on the part of my husband (or ex-husband, or boyfriend, or
ex-boyfriend). Legal Services and their associates should get
no public funding. |
| -Conduct seminars on the laws, rules and regulations, issuances and latest
jurisprudence on overseas employment for lawyers, members and para-legal
workers of these organizations. |
| My experience with Legal Services (via Utah Legal Services and
their associates, Legal Center for Victims of Domestic Violence)
shows why Legal Services Corporation should be unfunded. |
