The National Assembly of Korea approved on 16 September 2009 the FIVE (5) years sojourn period of EPS workers, amending for the purpose the Act on Foreign Workers Employment. The new law is expected to be published in the Official Gazette around third week of October 2009 and will take effect two months thereafter or around third week of December 2009. Under the old rule, EPS workers are granted three years sojourn period. If he is re-employed by his last employer, he has to leave Korea first and come back after about one month. He is given another three years on his second sojourn period. According to the Foreign Workforce Policy Division of the Korea Ministry of Labor (MOL), the new law, upon its entry into force, would grant a period of stay according to the status of the worker, as follows: 1. Newly hired workers - Three years. If the worker is re-employed by his employer, plus 1 YEAR AND 10 MONTHS without need to leave Korea. 2. Workers in Korea who are in their first (three year) sojourn period – If the worker is re-employed by his employer, plus less (1 year and 10 months) without need to exit Korea. However, if the employer files the application for re-employment not later than 09 December 2009 and within the prescribed period (30 to 90 days before the end of sojourn), plus three years, but must leave and re-enter Korea. 3. (Re-employed) workers in Korea who are in their second sojourn period – the remaining portion of their three year sojourn period. We shall furnish you a copy of the official English translation of the new law as soon as the same becomes available. Wish you a pleasant weekend. DELMER R.

CRUZ’S TOUR OF DUTY We, the undersigned Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in South Korea respectfully request the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Marianito D. Roque to grant an extension of tenure to Labor Attache’ Atty. Delmer R. Cruz’s term until June 30, 2010. During this period, there are urgent labor issues in South Korea affecting OFWs that could be better addressed by an incumbent Labor Attache’ in view of his familiarity with the developments here. Atty. Delmer R. Cruz is currently based in Seoul, South Korea and his term will end on January 28, 2010. He assumed the office in July of 2007. Since then, he has served the Filipino workers for a total of 18 months. For the past several years, the Filipino overseas workers in South Korea have truly suffered from the inconsistencies of the provisions and implementation of labor laws, and the ineffective handling of migrant issues and problems. Consequently, the gap between the overseas workers and Philippine Embassy officials increased. Filipino communities, organizations, and churches have lost confidence in the Philippine Embassy. There had been a need for somebody who could truly understand the reality of the overseas Filipino workers, who are forced by economic circumstances to seek work far away from home to save their families from poverty and starvation; somebody who could bridge the gap between the Korean employers and the overseas Filipino workers, as well as negotiate with the Korean government offices; and somebody who could contribute to the development of new policies and regulations benefiting both the overseas workers and the government. We, the OFWs in Korea, started to see some hope, when the Philippine government sent a new Labor Attache’ to South Korea in the person of Atty....
