Incheon, 04 August 2026 – The Philippine Embassy in Seoul together with the Migrant Workers Office (MWO) and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) in South Korea, warmly welcomed 80 newly arrived Filipino workers under the Employment Permit System (EPS) upon their arrival in the Republic of Korea on 04 August 2026.

Leading the welcome delegation was Her Excellency Ambassador Bernadette Therese C. Fernandez, accompanied by Labor Attaché Rosemarie G. Duquez and Welfare Officer Cornelia DG Chanco, together with personnel of MWO-OWWA Korea. The delegation welcomed the newly arrived workers and reaffirmed the Philippine government's commitment to supporting Filipino workers as they begin their employment in the Republic of Korea.

The activity was conducted under the HRDK-Embassy Coordinated Entry Process for E-9 Foreign Workers, a program of the Human Resources Development Service of Korea (HRDK) that aims to facilitate the entry and promote the stable settlement of E-9 foreign workers through close coordination with participating embassies in the Republic of Korea.

The Philippine Embassy, through MWO-OWWA Korea, continues to work closely with HRDK and other Korean government agencies to safeguard the welfare of Filipino workers and ensure that they receive timely support from the beginning of their employment in South Korea.

The Employment Permit System remains one of the Philippine government's key labor migration programs, providing thousands of qualified Filipino workers with opportunities for decent employment while strengthening labor cooperation between the Philippines and the Republic of Korea. END

Masayang sinalubong ng MWO-OWWA Korea ngayong umaga ang 114 regular EPS workers na magsisimula ng kanilang trabaho sa iba't ibang manufacturing companies sa South Korea.

Bukod sa pagbati sa kanilang pagdating, nagbahagi rin ang MWO-OWWA ng mahahalagang paalala tungkol sa pamumuhay at pagtatrabaho sa Korea, pati na rin ang mga hotline at serbisyong maaari nilang lapitan sakaling mangailangan ng tulong.

Hangad namin ang isang ligtas, maayos, at matagumpay na OFW journey para sa ating mga bagong dating na kababayan.

Welcome sa South Korea! 🇵🇭🇰🇷
