Aside from PMRN officers, PSSC Executive Director Dr. Lourdes M. Portus, Programs Head Mr. Wilson C. Villones, Linkages Officer Mr. James Ethan Gonzales, and lead of the PMRN Secretariat Mr. Angelo Vince Marfil attended the anniversary forum and awarding ceremony. PSSC provides continuous support to the activities of the PMRN for the past 29 years.
PARTNERS FOR MIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT
Aside from working closely with PSSC, PMRN has worked with the CFO in the past to discuss various migration and diaspora issues. Sec. Ang and his staff attended a PMRN-organized forum on the state of Filipinos in Sabah as partners in the Inter-Agency Committee for the Month of Overseas Filipinos. He promised to raise the issues of Filipinos and stateless peoples in Sabah to the president and craft policies in CFO to support and empower them.

Last March 25, PMRN Steering Committee members met with Sec. Ang for a two-hour discussion on the current state of Filipinos overseas, prospects for the CFO, and possible collaboration between two organizations. PMRN advised the CFO on future projects such as the improvement of migration statistics, strengthening of the return and reintegration programs, collaboration with other government agencies, and the creation of a Country Migration Report.

Currently, the PMRN and CFO are exploring avenues for future collaboration to advance the cause and promote the welfare of overseas Filipinos and to understand the nexus between migration and development. Certainly, it is the shared mission of PMRN and CFO to understand migration trends and human development as both organizations work together in producing cogent scholarly research and crafting effective public policy on migration and diaspora.
