PRESIDENT AQUINO’S SOCIAL CONTRACT W/ THE PEOPLE: MIGRATION-RELATED POLICY
“From a government that treats its people as an export commodity and a means to earn foreign exchange,
disregarding the social cost to Filipino families…to a government that creates jobs at home, so that working
abroad will be a choice rather than a necessity, and when its citizens do choose to become Overseas
Filipino Workers, their welfare and protection will still be the government’s priority.”

M & D, CBMS AND LGU’S
• Data on migration is included in the CBMS survey.
• CBMS data provides a starting point in establishing a migration database.
• Migration database as a tool in integrating M and D in local development planning.
![Page 17: THE ROLE OF REMITTANCES ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND …...the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. • It is an advisory and policy-recommending body and consultative forum for issues and concerns](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051921/600e7c4deca5121dc4384030/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
M & D, CBMS AND LGU’S
• Overseas Filipinos are viewed as walking ATMs.
• Engaging overseas Filipinos for local development projects is: more than just asking for solicitations
during fiestas or construction of waiting sheds. more than facilitating overseas employment thru
job fairs and balikbayan nights.
• Heightened awareness of the need to integrate the subject of migration in local plans
Paradigm shift in thinking
