NewsTranscript
00:00Minimum wage of around Php 90,000 per month is one of the tricks of Finland
00:07that is needed by skilled workers, nursing staff, caregivers, and other workers.
00:13And depending on the income, the family of the OFW can be included.
00:17J.P. Soriano is a witness.
00:22Rodolfo has been working as a seaman in Europe for three years.
00:26After his contract, he returned to the Philippines because he wanted to be with his family.
00:32But because he needs to work again,
00:35Rodolfo is looking for a country and an employer that has benefits that can include the family abroad.
00:43When you're there, you're working, your family is there,
00:47it's a pleasure to work when you're there, you're close to your family.
00:52That's right, because joining the family of a foreign worker is one of the benefits of Finland
01:01that was signed by the Joint Declaration of Intent or JDI in the government of the Philippines.
01:07Because in Finland, there is a policy that if a foreign worker has a sufficient income,
01:13the government will allow him to join the family and live there while a foreign worker is working.
01:21The work of Finland will also look for a wife of a foreign worker
01:26and the children can study in their country.
01:30For Finland, it's important that for those workers who would like to come with their families,
01:36it's also possible and we try to help to find a work for the spouses as well
01:43and then they can get also children to Finland and to school if they like it that way.
01:53Finland will need skilled workers, hotel and tourism workers, restaurant staff,
02:00information technology or IT workers, and healthcare workers,
02:05such as nursing staff and caregivers.
02:08According to the government of Finland, labor equality is important to them.
02:13Therefore, even if they are of a different race, the minimum wage is the same
02:18at 1,600 euros or more than 90,000 pesos or more every month
02:24depending on the type of work and industry.
02:29The upskilling of Filipino healthcare workers is also included in the agreement.
02:35One can come in, let's say, as a caregiver or nurse assistant and be upgraded from there in Finland.
02:42So, this is something that is also suited to our healthcare demands here in our very own country.
02:48The DMW reminds the public not to be influenced by the work being done on social media,
02:54be careful of illegal recruiters,
02:56and it is up to the DMW to check the type of work abroad.
03:02For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano, your Saksi.
03:08My dear friends, be the first to Saksi.
