One Filipinos Worldwide Party List, abbreviated as OFW Party List, is a political organization with party-list representation in the House of Representatives of the Philippines. Established in 2021[citation needed], the OFW Party List advocates for the rights and welfare of Overseas Filipino Worker (OFWs) and their families, other members of the Filipino diaspora, and seafarers.
Background
[edit]In 2022, the OFW Party List won a seat in the 19th Congress which was filled by Marissa "Del Mar" Magsino.[1][2] She became the only legislator representing the sector in the 19th Congress and the only lady legislator ever to become a party list representative of OFWs.[citation needed]
Since its election, the OFW Party List has been gaining ground as one of the most active party lists through its service delivery in major provinces, as well as its responsive and inclusive policies.[promotion?]
During its first term, the OFW Party List filed 66 principally authored legislative measures, including Republic Act No. 12021, also known as the “Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers”, which became a landmark law that provides protection and support for our seafarers.[3][4][5] The OFW Party List also championed House Bill 10178 or the Electronic Registration and Voting Act for Overseas Voters also known as the Internet Voting Bill, which paves the way for a more convenient mode of voting for OFWs, particularly seafarers.[6][7][8]
OFW Party List Representative Magsino also co-authored 181 house bills, 16 of which have been signed into law, 139 transmitted to the Senate, and 17 with significant action by the Committee. Rep. Magsino has also conducted 11 high-level policy dialogues on concerns encapsulating the four major categories of service advocated by the party list which are Livelihood Opportunities and Skills Training, Educational Policies and Programs, Scholarship, and other Youth Programs, Health-related Policies and Programs, and Promotion of Welfare and Development and Provision of Social Protection.
Most importantly, the OFW Party List endeavors to see firsthand how OFWs are faring in their host countries and to personally listen to their sentiments and suggestions, thereby bridging the gaps between our policies and its actual implementation, and filing remedial legislation if needed.[9] [10]In total, OFW Partylist Representative Magsino visited 11 host countries during her first term and held policy dialogues with OFW leaders and officials of Philippine embassies, consulates, and Migrant Worker offices. OFW Partylist Representative Magsino has traveled to the following countries to dialogue with our OFWs: Indonesia[11], South Korea[12][13][14], Malaysia[15], Hong Kong[16][17][18], Japan[19], Taiwan[20][20], Singapore[21], the United Kingdom[22][23], United States of America[24][25][26][27], Kingdom of Saudi Arabia[28][29][30][31], and the United Arab Emirates[32][33][34].
As of January 2025, the party list has provided assistance to tens of thousands of its constituents, particularly 416 distressed OFWs through repatriation assistance, 15,818 beneficiaries of welfare assistance including financial assistance, 11,275 patients through medical assistance, 8,039 beneficiaries through livelihood assistance, and 1,147 students through scholarship assistance including college and technical-vocational scholars.[citation needed]
