Overseas Workers Welfare Administration(OWWA)

How many OFWs have acquired a disability whilst working abroad? (Can this be disaggregated by, sex, occupation, age, country of destination, place of origin and disability type) How many have received ‘benefits and assistance’ after acquiring a disability? (Can this be disaggregated by, sex, occupation, age, country of destination, place of origin and disability type) Any other support they may have received, e.g., support/ rehabilitation to keep them employed?

Thank you for your tongue and check response, I found the tone very entertaining. I do apologize for causing you any strain, the reason that there are 4 requests, was because one was duplicated (I am unsure why - #OWWA-740713779432 and #OWWA-181402004896). Also, there is a very strict limit to words, so I had to put across 3 requests and tried to keep the points separate. I am aware that two of the three requests may not be to your department but for the DMW in general. Unfortunately, the DMW are not an option on the FOI website, and the DMW did not respond to my formal letter for information after 4 months (though it got accepted and it passed on). Thus, I had no alternative but to come to you, I was pointed in your direction by staff. Though I do agree with you that the other two requests are not perfect for your mandate and that you may not be able to answer, I feel this one is.

I can assure you that I have done the readings of secondary sources which is a requirement for doing thesis/research, this is why I am asking for data here. I am fully aware of the R.A 8042 and R.A.10022. I likely do share your definition of an OFW. I am specifically interested in OFWs with disabilities, (again there is a strict word limit - so I couldn't provide the context). Sorry for the misunderstanding, the data I require is on OWWA members only, information that you have on migrants with disabilities, I am aware you cannot provide data on people you do not cover. I want this as person with disabilities are often excluded from migration and are not a required data point - and not included in REPUBLIC ACT No. 10022, as persons with disabilities are only mentioned as insurance during disablement. When acquiring disability, may be the only time that data is collected on this vulnerable group. Thus, I am trying to get the data you do have on them. Can you please provide me data on OWWA members who have acquired disabilities, I wanted to know if migrant who acquire disability, not just get financial compensation, but get opportunities to reintegrate into host society (as this is more important for long term wellbeing). If there is better way to find out what information you have on disability, please share with me so I can improve my FOI requests in the future. Happy to provide more details, if required. All the best, have a great day. Ben
