The Manila Times Internet Edition | OFW TIMES > Migration ups OFWs’ democratic wishes, says study: "OVERSEAS Filipino workers’ (OFWs) experiences and learnings abroad have been identified as a major reason for their discontent over the social, economic and political performance of the Philippine government among returning migrants, said researchers involved in the research project entitled Democratization through Migration?
The study noted that this factor is true across migrants, regardless of the political system prevailing in their host country, as long as they have been exposed to a society with a functioning economy that has provided for the material needs of its citizens.
This is one of the main results of a study presented on July 29 at the Dr. Alfredo J. Ganapin Advocacy Forum organized by the Center for Migrant Advocacy (CMA) and the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung.
Said Ellene Sana, CMA executive director, “These findings that identify the potential effects of migration on the democratization process in the Philippines are highly relevant as these perceptions have the potential to weaken and diffuse support for democracy, combined with a widespread sentiment of powerlessness conveyed in the interviews.”"
