OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Although we are understandably saddened because of the impact on our industry sector, we agree with the decision of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to suspend indefinitely the deployment of OFWs to Kuwait and to repatriate OFWs there who are in distress situations and want to return home to be with their families.

We are coordinating with the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA).

We are also in the process of formulating a set of policy and other recommendations so that the Duterte administration will have additional options on how to save our fellow Filipinos from slavery and human trafficking and be more effective in the delivery of services to OFWs not just in Kuwait but worldwide.

We will present these recommendations to Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III soon so we can give him  our best advice for the welfare of OFWs.

We are advocating for unity among all recruitment agencies and their adherence to a common standard of best and responsible practices throughout the industry.
