00:05that are really for the Filipinos.

00:13JR is one of the Filipinos who joined the Department of Migrant Workers.
00:18His dream is to work abroad.
00:22He said he wants to work in Japan.
00:25In Japan, the salary is high.
00:27If you're there, you'll be able to make a living there.
00:36It seems that JR's dream is coming true.
00:38Because of the opening of the Philippine-Japan Friendship Week today,
00:4225,000 jobs are announced to be opened in Japan.
00:46Some of these are from the construction, hospitality, and medical field sectors.
00:51Those who are looking for a job here are the licensed recruitment agencies.
00:55We expect that it will be easier because they are already there.
00:59You don't have to go to Makati, Manila, or any other recruitment agency.
01:08They are already there at one-stop shop.
01:11By the way, the government agencies are also there.
01:14PhilHealth, Pag-ibig.
01:16Honest, hardworking, responsible, active, and happy.
01:20These are just a few of the overseas Filipino workers
01:23that Japanese employers are really looking for, according to the DMW.
01:28The Philippines is on its third day with the largest number of workers there,
01:33followed by Vietnam and China.
01:35As of now, more than 300,000 documented Filipinos
01:39are working in Japan in the professional and skilled category.
01:43If the Japanese ambassador to the Philippines, Endo Kazuya,
01:47can take care of the OFWs in their country.
01:51Japan shares the same values.
01:54And we are one with the Philippines in ensuring that OFWs obtain decent work.
02:02We mandate that all foreign workers receive the same wages,
02:07protections, and benefits as their Japanese counterparts.
