From CMA:
******************************************
Dear friends and colleagues in migrant’s rights advocacy:
We send you this questionnaire, which forms part of CMA's efforts to draft a legislative proposal to restructure OWWA. May we ask you and your respective OFW networks to answer the questionnaire?
We will run the survey for the whole month of July.

Greetings to our OFWs! Mainit na pagbati mula sa CMA!
The Center for Migrant Advocacy is holding an outreach campaign to restructure OWWA in order to ensure that OWWA is best serving the needs of our OFWs, both on-site and returnees. For over a decade, OFWs have been campaigning for OWWA to restructure its organization. In 2003 OWWA unilaterally promulgated new Omnibus Policies. Since 2004 PMRW, other groups and the OFWs have been battling the OWWA Board in court, challenging the legal premise of the Omnibus Policies and trying to make OWWA serve the needs of our OFWs. Now, as the lawsuit waits for resolution by the Supreme Court, we are initiating this new campaign to draft a legislative proposal to replace the Omnibus Policies and to restructure the OWWA organization.
OWWA is your organization - it was created for your protection, and holds a fund for your benefit! Therefore, your opinion on OWWA is very important in deciding what OWWA should be!
