Monograph
One
Monograph One, on Migration Journalism in the Philippines,
contains seven papers on how issues in migration are seen
from several vantage points: from that of a daughter of an
overseas Filipino worker in a community of OFW families in
Batangas to the editor-in-chief of a daily newspaper; from
a senior business reporter covering the money that flows from
OFWs to a former media liaison officer of a migrant nongovernment
group; from the chief executive of a booming Internet-based
newspaper to the director of a radio program beaming news
on OFWs and the Philippines via shortwave. These papers outlined
the work of the OFW Journalism Consortium for the past three
years when their authors presented their respective opus at
the pontifical University of Santo Tomas on December 7, 2002.

Monograph
Two
Monograph
Two is a compilation of papers presented in two fora –
Overseas Filipinos as Part of the National Development Agenda
in June 2003 at the Ateneo de Manila University and Overseas
Filipinos and the 2004 Elections in March 2004 at the Manila
Pavilion. The papers in the 2003 forum give an overview of the
economic and political dynamics and issues attendant to and
attenuating overseas labor migration from the points of view
of economists, Europe-based nongovernment groups, and the country’s
labor secretary Patricia Sto. Tomas. The papers in the 2004
forum, meanwhile, focuses more on the issue of absentee voting
by some three million registered voting migrants, as the law
that grants them such power was put to a test during the May
2004 presidential, senatorial, and congressional elections.
