The deployment of Filipino nurses and caregivers to Japan is expected to pick up as the Philippine and Japan sign today a memorandum of understanding for school courses under the Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA) on the Movement of Natural Persons, the Japanese Embassy in Manila reported Thursday.
The new RP-Japan deal will focus on a two-to-four year school course for caregiver candidates. All candidates will enroll in a caregiver school in Japan and will be qualified as certified care workers upon completion of the course.
Takashi Tsunoda, managing director of the Japan International Corporation of Welfare Services and Emmanuel Angeles, chair of the Philippine Commission on Higher Education, will sign the agreement in the presence of Ambassador Makoto Katsura of Japan as witness.
“Signatories to the deal will start the preparations for sending and receiving Filipino candidates after the signing,” the embassy said in a statement. –Llanesca T. Panti, Manila Times
