But now, it appears that servicing the overseas workers program and ministering to the needs of OFWs and their communities abroad have spawned a vast bureaucracy of thousands of employees. Attending to all the tasks, problems, concerns and the special problems requiring focus and attention will demand a high degree of generalship and managerial competence. And then at the end of the day, if the plan is sound, everything must cohere into an effective plan for the total revitalization of the OFW program. We will only add this word to this speculative vision of how the overseas program can be redesigned and refined. We won’t go so far as to suggest that we need a full-fledged department now for overseas Filipino workers.
