In 2006, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration Governing Board has approved a series of resolutions defining policy reforms that seek to improve the lot of household workers, particularly migrant domestic workers coming from abroad. These include upgrading of skills of the workers, orientation course on country-specific culture and language, protective mechanisms at the job sites, obliging employers to shoulder the cost of deploying the domestic helper, and increasing the minimum salary to a level commensurate to their acquired competencies. Other development structures for the protection of domestic workers, such as complaining desks, are also set up at local level.
