00:00 They are talking about South Korea and the possibility of getting domestic helpers from the Philippines.

00:06 Witness, Ian Cruz.

00:08 Michael Bagot, 29 years old, returned to South Korea this July.

00:16 His second contract under the EPS or Employment Permit System is a luxury for his loved ones.

00:24 He is hoping that the Philippines will extend the stay of the employees under the EPS.

00:31 Every 10 years, the help for our family in the Philippines is greater.

00:36 The Philippines and South Korea have a strong relationship for decades.

00:40 That's why it's not surprising that many Filipinos are encouraged to work here

00:45 where the income is higher and the benefits are better.

00:50 The Philippine Embassy here in Seoul confirmed that they are studying the extension of the employment of skilled workers under the EPS.

01:00 You have the opportunity to have another contract that is a bit longer than your first contract.

01:07 The EPS will last for two decades where foreign workers are allowed to hire Korean employers who cannot hire local workers.

01:15 More than half of the estimated 63,000 Filipinos here in South Korea are under the EPS program.

01:21 But they also need to see the right conditions before giving a longer contract.

01:26 There are requirements that they are looking at including the language proficiency.

01:31 Aside from factory workers, they are also talking about getting domestic helpers from the Philippines

01:37 especially the aging population of South Korea.

01:40 They are doing pilot study and possible pilot implementation in the coming months.

01:49 But the number is small initially.

01:53 From here in South Korea, for GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz is your witness.
