‘OFWs must be taught ways of hosts’ - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos: "The government should conduct country-specific pre-departure orientation seminars (PDOS) for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) to avoid “embarrassing incidents” like the one where an OFW was caught with 150 pounds of copper in his luggage while leaving Saudi Arabia, a recruitment industry leader said.

Jackson Gan, vice president of the Federated Association of Manpower Exporters Inc. (Fedmanex), urged the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) to make sure pre-departure seminars for OFWs were “country specific” to make them aware of the laws and traditions of the countries they are going to."
