The number of deportees being shipped back to Zamboanga City by the Malaysian government is now decreasing according to records of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
DSWD Information Officer Fe Dela Cruz said from the average 1,000 deportees a month, this number went down to only 146, recorded in the recent arrival of last Saturday.
Data from DSWD says that from January to present the DSWD already served a total of 5,717 deportees.
Dela Cruz said that the reason for the decreasing numbers of deportees might be that there are only a few of them (undocumented Filipinos) in Malaysia.
She explains that the office does not only send the deportee’s home but gives them trainings.
For the deportees who has an immediate employer in Malaysia, the DSWD assist them to finish or complete their working papers such as passports and others.
