The WWT aims to generate ideas and insights on the development and crafting of a labor diplomacy agenda of the Philippines towards protecting millions of OFWs around the globe.

Likewise, we can provide information on economic, social and political issues in the host countries, as well as labor market information, from which basis for policy-making and program development can be drawn.”
