Innovation took center stage as the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) recognized the winners of the Design Thinking Club (DTC) Innovation Challenge, highlighting employee-led ideas to make DMW services more responsive, user-centered, and accessible to migrant workers and stakeholders.

Project Haligi: PEOS Online 2.0 of the Pre-Employment and Government Placement Bureau was named the first-place winner. Project H.E.R.O.E.S. (Harnessing E-learning for Responsive Overseas Empathetic Service), a Learning Management System for Migrant Workers Offices by the Migrant Workers Training Institute, placed second. At the same time, the Electronic DMW Monitoring Coordination System (E-DMW MCS) of the Foreign Stakeholders Relations and Engagement Bureau won third place.

The winning teams were selected on 25 May 2026 after presenting their innovation proposals to a panel of judges from the Foreign Service Institute, the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP), the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA), and the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA).

For DMW Design Thinking Club President and Director Janine T. Tutanes, the challenge reflects the Department’s commitment to nurturing fresh ideas and empowering employees, especially young innovators, to improve public service.

“The value of the Design Thinking Club lies in its ability to foster a culture of creativity, empathy, and user-centered problem-solving. By empowering teams to turn ideas into practical innovations, DTC plays a vital role in continuously improving our programs and services to better serve our clients and stakeholders,” she noted.

Undersecretary Dominique Rubia-Tutay congratulated the winning teams and encouraged them to bring their proposed systems to fruition by the end of 2026, reinforcing DMW’s push for digital transformation and improved service delivery.

Director Tutanes looks forward to expanding the Club’s impact through strategic partnerships, particularly with DAP. “We seek the continued support of our Management to nurture this culture of innovation by empowering our employees, sustaining the Club’s initiatives, and enabling more personnel to participate in future Design Thinking activities, with a renewed focus on partnership and growth,” she noted.

By turning ideas into practical solutions, the DMW Design Thinking Club continues to inspire innovation from within and to strengthen the Department’s mission to deliver better, faster, and more compassionate service to overseas Filipino workers and their families. # # #

MAYNILA – Kahit araw ng Sabado, tuloy-tuloy ang paghahatid ng serbisyo publiko ng Department of Migrant Workers–National Capital Region (DMW-NCR). Bilang bahagi ng pinaigting na kampanya laban sa mga hindi rehistradong accommodation facility, matagumpay na ipinatupad ng DMW-NCR, katuwang ang iba pang kaukulang ahensya ng pamahalaan at mga lokal na awtoridad, ang isang Closure Order laban sa isang accommodation facility sa Lungsod ng Maynila na nagpapatakbo nang walang kaukulang rehistrasyon at awtorisasyon mula sa Department.

Sa naturang operasyon, labing-apat (14) na OFW-applicants ang nasagip at agad na inilipat sa isang hotel sa Lungsod ng Pasay para sa kanilang pansamantalang panunuluyan sa ilalim ng pangangasiwa ng DMW-OWWA. Isinailalim din sila sa statement-taking at case documentation upang maitala ang kanilang mga karanasan, mga isyung kanilang naranasan, at anumang reklamo na maaaring magsilbing batayan sa kaukulang imbestigasyon at iba pang legal na hakbang.

Patuloy na hinihikayat ng DMW ang publiko na iulat ang mga hinihinalang hindi rehistrado o iligal na accommodation facility at iba pang mapang-abusong kalagayan upang agad na mabigyan ng kaukulang aksyon ng Departamento.

The Department of Migrant Workers–National Capital Region (DMW-NCR) conducted a well-being visit for the overseas Filipino worker (OFW) applicants rescued during the simultaneous rescue and closure operations carried out on July 25, 2026, in five (5) unregistered accommodation facilities in Parañaque City.

The rescue operations covered unregistered accommodation facilities being used by Q and M HR Management Co., Mother's Way Overseas Manpower Specialist Corp., Ascent Skills Human Resources Services, Inc., Bobstar International Manpower Services, Inc., and Unlimited Skills Employment and Manpower Services, Inc.

Through these simultaneous operations, a total of fifty-seven (57) OFW applicants were successfully rescued and provided with immediate assistance to ensure their safety, welfare, and protection.

DMW-NCR Regional Director Falconi Millar personally visited the rescued workers temporarily housed at Kabayan Hotel in Pasay City to check on their condition, listen to their concerns, and provide updates on the next steps in their overseas employment process. During the visit, Regional Director Millar assured the workers that they may continue processing their overseas employment with their respective licensed recruitment agencies, subject to compliance with existing rules and regulations.

The well-being visit also provided an opportunity for DMW-NCR to answer the workers' questions, address their concerns, and reassure them that the Department remains by their side throughout their employment journey. The rescued workers were likewise informed of the assistance and support services available to them while their employment processing and other necessary interventions are being facilitated.

The DMW-NCR remains consistent in its efforts to protect the rights and welfare of Filipino migrant workers by ensuring that the rescue of OFW applicants is only the beginning of the government's continued support. Through sustained coordination with the Migrant Workers Protection Bureau (MWPB), the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), licensed recruitment agencies, and other partner agencies, the Department will continue to provide the assistance necessary for workers to pursue safe, orderly, and legal overseas employment.
