 I started working here in Manila once I graduated high school. I've been a domestic worker with an old couple. They have a grandchild, which should I bring to their parents in Doha, Qatar. They want me to pay all their expenses that we've been paid in the Philippines, like the airfare. My journey in Qatar begins when I do a lot of work as a laundry worker, a cleaner, a vasconductor and an Annie all at the same time. Governance is of major importance and this is really what's going to determine the outcome of migration for society and of course for the migrants themselves. I think it's really important when we talk about policy coherence not to think of it only across policy sectors but as well across governance levels. I really want to emphasise the importance in particular of the role of local and regional authorities and cities in particular when it comes to migration governance. So the Committee on Migration Development as the subcommittee of the Regional Development Council, this is the area where in local governments what the issues and concerns of their clients in their communities are being addressed at the regional level. We can make appropriate interventions and solutions for these issues and concerns that are being experienced by our overseas Filipinos. Our 1995 Magna Carta of Migrant Workers, which pretty much lays down the legal foundation, was a result of the hanging of one Filipino domestic worker in Singapore, Floor Contemplation. Over the years many of the amendments in the law were actually responding to many of the dramatic abuse cases of Filipinas. The Safe and Fair Program in Asia is focusing on women migrant workers because labour migration in Asia is a big social phenomenon. The vulnerabilities are high. The cases of abuse have been repeatedly reported. I have three counts of sexual harassment there with my co-worker. My first meal in the morning is at 3pm. It's a hell, I said. I have been working two years in the hell. Objective number one of Safe and Fair. The priority of Safe and Fair in the next two to three years would be to really give technical inputs on the implementation and even review and reform of many of the existing laws. We can look at what's happening in the Philippines, which is a country really that has been doing a lot of really interesting initiatives in terms of bringing different stakeholders at local level, working together, understanding how migration impact a given territory and fitting that into local policy making, local decision making. Here we're talking about not only governance in terms of administrations, in terms of locally elected officials, but also very much bringing in civil society organizations, the private sector. So again, looking at it from a systemic approach. When I go back home, it's my happiest day, I think. My friend and also a former domestic worker invited me to join the union of domestic worker. After that, okay, I said I will attend some meetings. Then it began my journey to be an activist, a unionist. The main role of being a national president of domestic worker is a big responsibility, of course. Right now, we do more campaigns about the social security system and then helping migrant domestic workers also in distress. I think this is one of the good practices of the Philippines that the Migration Civil Society groups recognize the role of trade unions. In order to organize and empower the migrants and then the women, trade unions have to be involved because they are the workers' organizations. They sit in the community and they involve in all our projects from the subnational up to the national levels. Our campaign, of course, the expanded maternity law. We are fighting for that for almost two years and then we won't, we won't the law. Caring also for the young workers, the next generation, I think. Because sometimes migration is the solution for them.
