Secretary Silvestre Belo III of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is scheduled to attend the said leaders’ congress on October 19 and 20, 2017 at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University Sports Complex in Dusit, Bangkok.
“It has been confirmed that DOLE Secretary will be the guest of honor during the gala dinner which will be held on the first night of the congress,” said Ms. Nelly Palpallatoc, president of Quickservants United for Duterte Thailand – the host organization.
Aside from Secretary Belo, Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) Administrator Hans Leo Cacdac, and Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) Deputy Administrator Aristodes Ruaro are also expected to grace the two-day event.

In addition to ‘Usapang DOLE, OWWA, and POEA, topics about Financial Literacy and Eco-Tourism Investments for OFWs will also be tackled.
“This year’s congress is by far the most ambitious compared to the other two congress held in Khon Khaen and Phitsanulok since the Secretariat in cooperation with the Quickservants, our host organization, is trying to bring in Philippine government entities to personally address OFW issues right here in Thailand,” Mr. Marlon Sipe, FCLC General Secretary, told Pinoy Legacy.
