"Increased demand for OFWs in Europe expected

Labor and Employment Secretary Patricia A. Sto. Tomas yesterday said that the demand for the overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Europe is expected to grow despite the European Union’s (EU’s) plan to hire foreign workers from other countries.

Citing the DOLE’s overseas employment record, Sto. Tomas said the deployment of skilled, documented land-based OFWs in the continent rose to 55,116 in 2004 from only 3,683 in 1984."
