Ban on Deployment of Pinoy Workers
« on: December 14, 2008, 04:29:52 PM »
The ban on the deployment of Filipino workers to Nigeria, Jordan, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon stays.

This was the consensus reached yesterday (Dec 13, Saturday) during the meeting called by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo with Philippine ambassadors to Middle East countries at the Sheraton Doha Hotel and Resort here on the first day of her three-day official visit to Qatar.

The President called the meeting to assess the situation in the five countries because of concerns over the safety and wellbeing of the Filipino workers if and when the deployment ban is lifted.

Assistant Press Secretary Romeo Montenegro explained that the President’s main concern is the safety of Filipino workers.

The five countries are in need of thousands of foreign workers but President Arroyo stressed that despite the numerous job opportunities, Filipino workers will not be allowed to seek employment in the five countries, particularly Nigeria.

The government will not compromise the security of Filipino workers, said Montenegro who added that the President had directed Ambassador Roy Cimatu, special Philippine envoy to the Middle East, to come up with an assessment of the situation in the five countries.

Cimatu’s report will be discussed this coming March during the review of the situation in the five countries.

As for Syria, the Philippines will formally open an embassy in Damascus this February under Ambassador Wilfredo Cuyugan to better serve the needs of the 15,000 OFWs in that country, 80 percent of whom are undocumented.  source: PNA
