| Yhteenveto: | Until recently, two types of domestic worker –migrant domestic workers and local domestic workers– had seldom been considered as workers in the same sector in the Philippines. However, during the ratification campaign for ILO 189 Convention for Decent Work for Domestic Workers, or C189 and the creation and enactment of the Batas Kasambahay, a local law under C189, the two types of domestic worker have started to connect and even work together for the first time in various ways. In this, the labor union of the Philippines, which used not to be an active advocate for migrant domestic workers’ rights, has emerged as a new actor during and after the ratification of C189. This article will explore how the ratification of C189 had an impact on both migrant domestic workers and local domestic workers’ rights movements in the Philippines. |
