Philippines and Norway to collaborate in advancing migrant workers welfare

The Philippines Ambassador to Oslo, Norway, Enrico Fos, recently met with International Organization for Migrants (IOM) Chief of Mission, Fumiko Nagano, to discuss collaborations in implementing rights and conditions for Filipino workers in the Nordic country. One of the issues discussed was the regrettable Norwegian cancellation of the Au pair system for Filipinos in Norway. The Au pair program allowed international youths to travel abroad to learn about foreign cultures and languages while working with duties related to childcare. Enrico Fos asked the embassy to check on the working conditions of Filipinos working in huge farms.
