Neutral tone[edit]

The first paragraph seems to dramatize the Philippine overseas contract worker situation. It may be better to adopt a neutral tone and proceed directly to defining labor migration policy. See for example the entry on Labour law. Randytuano (talk) 02:14, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The last section on macroeconomic effects contains points that are not neutral in tone and may contain an analysis on the macroeconomic effects of migration. Randytuano (talk) 02:14, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Summary of major labor laws[edit]

The discussion on Republic Act 8042 may be too long. Try to summarize this in a few sentences. There may also be other major laws on OFWs. Randytuano (talk) 02:14, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Apparent confusion: Emigration vs. Migration[edit]

The lead sentence of this article reads: "The Philippine Labor Migration Policy of the Philippine government allows and encourages emigration." This appears to confuse the terms emigration and migration.

The lead sentence of the Emigration article reads: "Emigration is the act of leaving a resident country or place of residence with the intent to settle elsewhere (to permanently leave a country)."

The lead paragraph of the Migrant worker article reads: "A migrant worker is a person who either migrates within their home country or outside it to pursue work. Migrant workers usually do not have the intention to stay permanently in the country or region in which they work."

This article appears to confuse the terms Emigration and Migration in regard to migrant workers. It also appears to mis-state the policy of the Philippine government in regard to emigration.

This needs to be de-confused. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 12:50, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
