Uproar over remark on OFW remittances
Lawmaker says proposal was aimed at protecting welfare of families
Manila: A lawmaker was forced be on the defensive on Wednesday amid opposition from overseas Filipino workers over his proposal to compel them to show proof that they are sending support to their families in the Philippines.
Representative Roy Seneres of the OFW Family partylist, said the reason behind his proposal to force Filipino migrant workers to provide “proof of remittance,” is to protect the welfare of their families.
Seneres’ House Bill 3576 had been a subject of controversy after OFWs said the measure was unnecessary and was just an exaction ploy by the government from Filipino workers. The migrant workers group, Migrante International even went as far as branding the proposal as a “forced remittance” decree.
But Seneres clarified that the matter on showing proof of remittance would be limited to OFWs who are facing a no-support complaint from his or her.
Clarification
“Again, I am clarifying that provisions of HB 3576 will not be enforced on all OFWs. It will be on a case to case basis. Not all OFWs will have to show proof of remittance, only those who are the subject of a ‘verified complaint’ from their family of being remised in his obligation to support them,” he said.
Seneres said that based on his proposal, before a complaint of non-support against an OFW can be a subject for sanctions, it would have to go several processes of verification.
Under the proposal, ambassadors, consuls general, chiefs of mission or charge d’ affaires would be vested with authority to withhold renewal or approval of passport of erring OFWs.
Seneres said they had been receiving numerous complaints that some OFWs breadwinners had already stopped sending money to their families, thus forcing their children to stop schooling. Lawyer George Terrado, Seneres’ chief of staff, told Gulf News in an interview on Wednesday that Filipinos would be fully consulted once the legislative mill starts acting on HB 3576.
“Public hearings would be conducted first, all parties would be heard first as it undergoes scrutiny by the plenary,” Terrado said.
Terrado said the provisions of the HB 3576 on compelling OFWs to send money to their families is rooted on the provisions of the Family Code of the Philippines.

karon pako kahibaw na si roy seneres diay naghunahuna ani na balaudnon . naunsa naman ning tawhana , i thougt suhito ni siya sa sitwasyon sa mga ofw's ?
Dili ba kaha musamot ug kadaghan ang magsalig sa remittance sa mga OFW? Grabeh na gud ang binadget para lang naay mapadala, ibalaod pa jud? Mura man naa tax ang kato nagwork sa abroad... Naa pud ba domestic version ani? Kana kung dre ra ka sa pinas nagwork then wala ka kahatag ug financial support sa imo dependents?
Supak ko ani da. Mura man ug gibut-an na ang tao asa niya gamiton iya kuarta nga iya man na kinitaan. Di man sad tanan gipadalhan diri gigamit sa tinarung. Naa koy kaila sus luoy na kaau ang amahan naniguwang na ug trabaho sa gawas ang mga anak nga gipadalhan waldas kaau mogasto sige pa pangayo mga appliances ug gadgets wa sila gatan-aw sa ila tatay wa gani kapalit bag-o karsones para lang nila.
Guys, I think we should give this a benefit of the doubt. The primary purpose of this bill is to protect families abandoned by OFWs. This is not compulsory to ALL OFWs.
Maybe the loophole of this bill is abuse wherein immediate family can claim that they are being abandoned. The solution would be to compel abandoned family to present that there is a mutual agreement or any proof that the OFW is obliged to send remittance. Additional measure would be presenting the receipts or any proof in making sure that the money sent is being wisely spent or else the abandoned family will be charged instead.
