Why SULYAPINOY?
A deeper glance to Filipino’s
Heart, Mind and Soul
P eople need information. We need knowledge that
will help us to understand our society, provide a
healthy environment and nurture our well-being. Active
and effective participation in the community is based on
our ability to speak, listen, read, and write with
consistency, confidence, purpose, and enjoyment in a
wide range of context . These virtues gave birth to the
creation of this publication.
“Sulyap”, a Filipino word which means “Take a glance” is
the origin of this newsletter's name: SULYAPINOY. Our
eyes are the vital instrument in witnessing the accounts
in the society where we, EPS workers belong to.
SULYAPINOY embodies every thought and sentiments
of all Filipino Migrant Workers in Korea which aims to
capture every single detailed expression may it be
political, social, cultural or personal aspect of our lives.
Therefore, SULYAPINOY is the voice of the Modern
Living Heroes.
Our objective is to deliver informative, fair and balanced
reportage, not an argument. Where the facts are clear,
we hope we will not fail from explaining what they reveal,
making clear what is essential, relevant, and what is only
suggested. We hope, however, we are not seen as
simply taking sides. Our intention is to inform, not to
persuade. We will try to be as transparent as possible
about sources and methods, and to make it clear when
we are laying out data and when we have carefully move
into analysis of the data. We will persist, to the best of
our ability and the limits of time, and seek out multiple
sources of information for comparison where they exist.
This will serve as instrument to bring out our sentiments
and predicaments as we enjoy the freedom to live and to
be heard.

MESSAGE
Congratulations to the officers and members of the Filipino EPS
Workers Association (FEWA) for the launch of SULYAPINOY!
This new initiative undoubtedly is another step forward in
FEWA's service-oriented advocacy.
A newsletter is an effective tool in further empowering Filipino
workers in Korea particularly through the dissemination of basic
information about labor laws and proper procedures in dealing
with the Korean authorities.
The publication will likewise keep Pinoys abreast of current
goings-on in their community, not to mention the spice that will
be offered by its entertainment, literary and sports sections.
Indeed, SULYAPINOY, as its name connotes, will be a truly
Pinoy paper for Pinoys in Korea.
I encourage FEWA to continue with its unwavering dedication to
the service of Pinoy workers in Korea, the FilCom, and our
beloved country.
Mabuhay!

MESSAGE
I wish to congratulate the officers and members of FEWA,
especially its new President, Loreto and immediate Past
President, Reeve, for coming up with a newsletter entitled
SULYAPINOY.
Already, FEWA, under the guidance of its advisers, Fathers
Glenn and Alvin, Dr. Emely and Ms. Dinah, has been at the
forefront of active service to Filipino EPS workers in Korea.
FEWA’s members and volunteers have selflessly devoted
even their supposed rest time in assisting and counseling
distressed OFWs.
Indeed, FEWA’s maiden publication of SULYAPINOY is
another milestone in its track record of unflinching dedication
to service, for it shall serve as a forum for timely information,
relevant education and exchange of creative ideas among
OFWs.
FEWA undoubtedly has lived up to its motto, “What you are is
God’s gift to you, what you become is your gift to God”.
Mabuhay ang FEWA! Mabuhay ang Filipino!

Also, the adviser reminded the new

accomplishments noong nakaraang

Cardinal Rosales...
However, he admired the Filipino
people for their Filipino values such
as bayanihan and strong faith in God.
Assisted by Fr. Glenn Giovanni B.
Jaron, the cardinal ended his homily
by reminding OFWs here in Korea
that is to uphold their strong faith to
uphold their strong faith to God, be
righteous and cheerful as well.
At the end, the prelate asked the
congregation to sing a popular
religious song that everybody can
sing as a devotion to the Blessed
Mother of all catholic.
On th e s a i d o c c a s i o n , th e
Hyehwa-dong Filipino Catholic
Community (HFCC) gave plaques of
recognition to different organizations
and individuals who contributed
greatly to the progress and
developments and have inspired the
Filipino Community. The following
day, the cardinal visited the
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that
separated the two Koreas. ( Reeve)
OFW’s in South Korea...
They work mostly in the
manufacturing sector and small-
scale family owned enterprises.
They are recruited primarily to do
“3D jobs” - those identified as dirty,
dangerous and difficult jobs
rejected by local workers.
The EPS is South Korea’s main
labor policy mechanism that
implemen ts go ve rnmen t to
government labor migration of
workers to the country. With the
goal of enhancing cooperation in
the field of labor and human
capability building, the Philippine
government designated Philippine
Overseas Employment Agency
(POEA) as the primary agency
responsible for the sending of
workers, and its counterpart
Korean Ministry of Labor as the
primary Korean government
agency responsible for the
screening and pre-qualifying of
OFWs in Korea.
The Employment Permit
System
The Employment Permit System
enables firms, which are not able to
find domestic workers, to employ an
appropriate number of migrant
workers. Under the Employment
Permit System, migrant workers are
issued unskilled employment visas
(E-9) which allows them to find jobs
involving manual tasks, sign a labor
contract with a Korean employer
before entering the country, and
work for up to three years at a small-
and-medium-sized manufacturer
with less than 300 employees in the
agricultural, livestock or coastal
fishing industries.
Labor related laws apply to foreign workers
during the period of employment identical
to Korean workers such as Labor
Standard Act, Minimum Wages Act,
Industrial Safety Health Act. They are
issued E-9 sojourn status securing them
legal employment status as foreign
workers.
Issues and Challenges of OFWs under
the EPS
Under the research grant of the ASEAN
University Network Exchange Fellowship
Programme 2007, this study was
conducted to give focus on the issues and
challenges relating to OFWs in South
Korea deployed under the Employment
Permit System after its introduction in
2004.
Researches on OFWs all over the world
including studies on migrant workers in
South Korea have been conducted in the
past, but after three years of the signing of
the Memorandum of Understanding on the
EPS between the Philippines and South
Korea, there are but limited studies on its
implementation and on OFWs deployed
under this system. This study aimed to
contribute to the existing literature on the
topic.
This research, largely descriptive and
exploratory, utilized the purposive sampling
approach. Survey was administered
through face to face interviews of sixty (60)
OFWs. The researcher conducted the
interviews from period August to October
2007 in Seoul, South Korea. The
Philippine Overseas Labor Office, the
Filipino Catholic Center in Hyewa-dong as
well as the Filipino EPS Workers
Association (FEWA), a Philippine
Overseas Labor Office ( POLO) registered
organization of OFWs in South Korea
under the EPS program were valuable
key informants in this research study.
Upcoming issues of SULYAPINOY will
feature in detail the research findings.
As more and more Filipinos try their luck
overseas to work as migrant workers,
every country they go to presents a
differently new culture and therefore new
challenges. Filipino migrant workers in
South Korea are no different, they each
have their own experiences and stories to
tell. (To be continued)
