Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The impact of economic globalization on the lives of poor Filipinos is so devastating and the need for jobs so pressing that despite the horrifying stories of injustices suffered by Filipino migrant victims Filipino workers cannot be dissuaded from leaving the country in search of overseas employment. In my particular case the threat of living in perpetual poverty unemployment and misery drove me to leave my own family in 1981 to work in Saudi Arabia. Today many years later these are still the same threats that push a lot of us to brave the violence against migrant workers abroad just to have the chance to find these better albeit elusive opportunities. Since the beginning of American neocolonial control of the Philippines in 1901 our natural and human resources have been reserved for American businesses and their partners to use and expropriate. Every time our laws are changed to accommodate foreign business interests the Philippine government and its transnational partners come up with promises of jobs and progress for the Filipino people.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
