Ang Filipino Expatriates in UAE Foundation Inc. also known as FILEX Foundation ay ating itaguyod upang sa sandali ng ating sariling pangangailangan ay meron tayong malapitan na sarili nating foundation. Panahon na upang tulungan naman natin ang ating mga sariling pangangailangan sa darating na panahon. Kahit na po nasa ibang lugar na tayo o lalo na sa ating sariling bansa, when we go back home, we have a common interest to work for, to gather and to sustain and that is our own charitable organization. Marami nang mga charitable institutions pero para sa atin ay heto naman. When we go back home, we would have lots of charity balls, functions, activities to promote and raise funds for the benefit of our foundation, the OFWs foundation and one day, we would woke up with big funds that we can call, as our Ambassador Libran Cabactulan was saying, the Foundation Capital Fund and soon we can invest the extra funds we have to call it Global Funds for Global Filipinos. It's a dream but at least we have made a reality out of it even with a small beginning. I remember the man from the moon who said that " One small step one big Leap for mankind " and with that as one of our guiding words, we envision that FILEX Foundation would be an institution that we all can be proud of. Kaya, halina kayo, join na sa FILEX, Atin 'to.

The minister met Libran Cabactulan, the Philippines' ambassador in the UAE, on Oct 13 to discuss the Filipino Expatriates in UAE Foundation (Filex UAE). Filex plans to give scholarships to children of low-income Filipino expatriates, promote entrepreneurial activities and provide money to the victims of calamities and natural disasters in the Emirates and the Philippines. "The minister expressed her appreciation on the establishment of Filex as an instrument of the Filipino community to provide assistance to Filipino nationals who are in great financial need," Mr Cabactulan said. Membership of Filex is open to all Filipinos living in the UAE, while other nationalities, companies and entities can become members of the Circle of Filex Advocates. As of June, there were 324,912 Filipinos in the UAE, according to official records from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Almost half of the community, about 120,000 people, live in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Since there is no law on the formation of charitable foundations by foreigners in the UAE, Mrs Roumisaid the present arrangement would continue. "In our case, Filex is registered officially in the Philippines and operates in the UAE under the auspices of the Philippine embassy, like other foreign cultural associations," said Mr Cabactulan. Dick Orense, the Filex interim chairman, said he was pleased to learn from Mr Cabactulan that the minister had spoken well of the foundation, and that they had a productive meeting. Filex has enlisted 1,600 members since its formal launch in August. "Most of the members had taken advantage of the one-off payment of Dh30 (US$8), equivalent to a lifetime membership," he said. Those with UAE residence visas must pay Dh15 a year towards a group accident insurance security. This entitles them to benefits including coverage for accidental death, total accident disability, payment for medical fees and repatriation of remains to the Philippines. On Oct 21, Mr Cabactulan and Mr Orense met with Dr Ali Abdullah al Kaabi, the chairman of the Red Crescent Authority (RCA), to discuss the possibility of Filex holding joint activities with the UAE RCA and the Philippine National Red Cross. The group plans to visit Ras al Khaimah on Friday and Ruwais on Nov 27 to promote its ongoing membership fund campaign, with a goal of recruiting 100,000 members in a year's time.
