00:00 Good news! For those looking for jobs abroad, South Korea is planning to hire Filipino domestic helpers.
00:08 Their country is also studying to expand the visa of the Employment Permit System for skilled workers there.
00:15 That is the first news of Ian Cruz.
00:17 Michael Bagot, 29 years old, returned to South Korea this July.
00:26 His second contract under the EPS or Employment Permit System is a luxury for his loved ones.
00:33 That is why he is hoping, and other Filipino factory workers here, that the existence of those under the EPS can be extended.
00:41 In the next 10 years, our family in the Philippines will receive more help.
00:46 The relationship between the Philippines and South Korea has been stable for several decades.
00:50 That is why it is not surprising that many Filipinos are encouraged to work here where the income is higher and the benefits are better.
01:00 The Embassy of the Philippines confirmed here in Seoul that they are studying to expand the employment of skilled workers under the EPS.
01:09 You have the opportunity to have another contract that is a bit longer than your first contract.
01:16 The EPS will last for two decades where foreign workers are allowed to hire Korean employers who cannot hire local workers.
01:24 More than half of the estimated 63,000 Filipinos in South Korea are under the EPS program.
01:30 But they also need to see the right thing to do before giving a longer contract.
01:35 There are requirements that they are looking at, including the language proficiency.
01:41 Aside from factory workers, domestic helpers are also being talked about from the Philippines, especially the population of South Korea is aging.
01:49 They are doing pilot study and possible pilot implementation in the coming months.
01:58 But the number is initially small.
02:02 This is the first news. Ian Cruz for GMA Integrated News.
