                    [Summary] => The Korean Exchange Bank (KEB) will launch this month a debit card catering to the needs of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Korea.


Last April, the Philippines and Korea signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) providing for the strict regulation and direct supervision of the placement of Filipinos to Korea as contract workers. The accord allows for only 6,000 contract Filipino workers annually.


The reason for the MOA is that of the 45,000 OFWs in Korea, almost half or 20,000 have been classified as illegal.
