Despite a world wide crisis which are affecting the availability of OFW jobs, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo announced to an OFW crowd at the Sheraton Doha Hotel and Resort that Qatar is in need of 37,000 more workers to meet the workforce demands of their booming economy. A huge crowd of OFW’s met with the President during her trip abroad.
Due to the world wide economic crisis the government is working hard to take care of the retrenched OFW’s which is expected to reach 6000. She announced a P250-million Filipino Livelihood Support Fund to help OFWs who have been laid off to pursue their studies or engage in livelihood projects.
President Arroyo then thanked the Filipino OFW workers for their sacrifices and wished them a Merry Christmas.
