Filipinos working in the United Arab Emirates will benefit from multilingual booklets published by the government that detail the rights of migrant workers there.
A multilingual booklet ''The Worker : Rights and Duties'' was released by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior. The first worker's pocket book will be issued in six languages: Arabic, English, Filipino (Tagalog), Persian, Chinese and Urdu, and would be distributed to all federal government departments, concerned NGOs, labour accommodations, and media outlets.

It shall endeavor to ensure that employment is available for citizens and to train them so that they are prepared for it.
