conditions; the Committee further found the lack of legal protection and redress in cases of discriminatory treatment and abuse at the workplace for migrant workers, particularly those with an irregular status. The Committee on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families (2009) expressed concern over the situation of children and negative impact on children whose parents have migrated abroad, such as those "with at least one parent working overseas living with loose family ties and performing worse in school, notably in the case of an absent mother. This is of concern to the Committee given that 50 per cent of all Filipino migrant workers are women." The Committee on the Rights of the Child (2009) found a high number of unregistered and undocumented children of Filipino migrant workers born abroad, who may be deprived of their right to a name and nationality due to their non-registration. The Committee on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families (2009) also found that bilateral agreements with countries of destination do not sufficiently promote and protect the fundamental human rights of migrants. The Committee expressed concerns over insufficient implementation, follow-up and evaluation of initiatives and programs that respond to challenges faced in labor migration policy and the lack of coordination of institutional responsibilities spread among different departments in effectively promoting and protecting the rights of migrant workers. The Rightto Developmentand Emnomlc, Socialand Cuttunl Righb The United Nations Committees on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (2008) and on the Rights of the Child (2009) noted widespread corruption in the Philippines, and its negative impact on the allocation of already limited resources to effectively improve the promotion and protection of the right to development and economic, social and cultural rights. The Committee on the Rights of the Child (2009) noted, with concern, the allocation of more than 30 per cent of the national budget to debt service-interest payment and the increasing share allocated to debt servicing, alongside the decrease in budgetary allocations for children's social services, health services and education in terms of percentage of the national budget. 18
