00:00It is possible that more than 100 Filipino workers need Finland.
00:05Aside from the fact that Php 100,000 is the monthly salary,
00:09the family of a Filipino worker can also be included there.
00:13The Philippines and Finland have also become allies in JP Soriano's campaign.
00:21Rodolfo has been working as a seaman in Europe for three years.
00:25When his contract ended, he returned to the Philippines because he wanted to be with his family.
00:31But because he needs to work again,
00:34Rodolfo is looking for a country and an employer
00:37that has benefits that can include the family abroad.
00:41If you are there, you are working there, your family is there,
00:46it's a good job if you are there, you are close to your family.
00:51That's right, because the family of a foreign worker is included in the benefits of Finland,
01:00which is signed by the Joint Declaration of Intent or JDI in the government of the Philippines.
01:05Finland has a policy that if a foreign worker has a sufficient income,
01:11their government will allow them to be with their family and live there
01:16while a foreign worker is working.
01:20The work of Finland will also look for a foreign worker's wife
01:24and the children can study in their country.
01:28For Finland, it's important that for those workers who would like to come with their families,
01:35it's also possible and we try to help to find a work for the spouses as well
01:42and then they can get also children to Finland and to school if they like it that way.
01:51Finland will need skilled workers, hotel and tourism workers,
01:57restaurant staff, information technology workers and healthcare workers,
02:04such as nursing staff and caregivers.
02:07According to the government of Finland, labor equality is important to them.
02:12That's why even if it's a different race, the minimum wage is the same
02:16at 1,600 euros or more than 90,000 pesos higher every month or more depending on the type of work and industry.
02:27The upskilling of Filipino healthcare workers is also included in the signed agreement.
02:34One can come in, let's say as a caregiver or nurse assistant and be upgraded from there in Finland.
02:41So this is something that is also suited to our healthcare demands here in our very own country.
02:47A reminder from the DMW to the public,
02:49don't be influenced by the work you see on social media.
02:53Be careful of illegal recruiters and it's up to the DMW to check any type of work abroad.
