Foreign workers in Taiwan can only work for a maximum of six years as stated in the labor policy of Taiwan. This rule led many overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) to falsify travel and work documents and return to Taiwan using other identity.

Labor Secretary Arturo Brion has good news for former OFWs from Taiwan. The Labor chief said that there are possible jobs for displaced OFWs in the economic zones of Subic and Clark.

Brion has discussed this plan with foreign investors and businesspersons in Taiwan. He said "Our workers' exemplary attitude and dedication to their craft has become our global trademark. It has not only propelled us to be one of the most preferred workers overseas but more significantly, it has enticed multinational companies to put up businesses here."

Brion further added, "It demonstrates too the 'brain gain' that we derive from overseas employment as these workers will use the experience they secured from working in Taiwan."

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and its attached agencies will put up a system for the registration of former OFWs from Taiwan. The said database are expected to be finish before March of this year and can be used by Taiwanese companies in hiring employees.
