Please describe the measures taken by the State party to widely disseminate the Convention and the Committee’s previous concluding observations, in particular to government departments, Parliament, the judiciary, the national human rights institution and non-governmental organizations (CMW/C/PHL/CO/1, para. 53) 24. State party adherence to the principles and objectives to promote and protect the rights of migrants predates the adoption of the Convention. Hence, when the Convention was ratified by the State party, mechanisms for the implementation of the principles and normative framework, as contained in the laws of the State party, were already in place. By operation of these mechanisms and laws, the information dissemination of the Convention has been carried out through the various advocacies, capacity-building, print, media and public information campaign conducted by the State party and its partner agencies or organizations. 25. In 2009, the State party convened a post-reporting forum to discuss the concluding observations of the Committee with key government agencies and NGO and CSO partners. 6. Please provide information on measures taken to strengthen the protection of Filipino migrant workers abroad by reviewing and amending bilateral and multilateral agreements, Memoranda of Understanding or other protective measures with countries of employment of Filipino migrant workers (CMW/C/ PHL/CO/1, para. 32 (a)) 86
