Pinoys can’t work in Kuwait, Qatar, UAE
This might be of interest to my Pinoy friends.
Well done Philippine!
RECRUITMENT agencies should start looking for better opportunities for Filipino workers.
It was after the recruitment agencies received information that the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) approved the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA)’s proposal not to send Filipino workers in Kuwait, Qatar and United Arab Emirates.
Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz confirmed the proposal submitted by DFA but the agency’s board of director has not yet issued a resolution regarding it.
The DFA presented the said proposal because the said countries in the Middle East failed to comply with the existing guidelines, and violate local and international laws on labor including the Migrant Workers Act being implemented in the Philippines.
The said act doesn’t allow sending workers in countries not having laws on giving protection and equal right to every worker.
Once approved, the total number of domestic workers will be dropped to more than half percent especially the mentioned Middle East countries that had the most employed household service workers.

The simple fact is that workers from developing nations will go wherever they can make money to support themselves and their families. whether beit qatar , Kuwait, Saudi or Timbuktu
if it is so, that's good. as we all know that most of Domestic helpers are beng mistreated and very few ar being heard our embassy / POLO. this is a good start.
Well, it's good that they are trying to protect our kababayans from maltreatment but the government should have a ready alternative for these OFWs who will be affected by the said resolution. Moreso, the Philippine Embassy in Qatar should act upon this scenario... is there any negotiation with the Qatar Government to make a compromise so we can abide by the requirements of both countries?
good...
keep on showing the world that you care by your deeds...
well thats good, so that our DH kabayans will not be abused...

what about HK?

This only applies to domestic workers. I believe we should share information as the way we read it. Anyway, what the Philippine government is doing is to protect the Filipino workers against unfair labor practice which is right. They should also protect the Filipino from corrupt immigration officers. Who do not have a right to hold a person in living the country unless with a court order and a legal reason and asking for money..
No great loss.
absolutely, that is the interesting part, the headline is quite misleading but still makes a difference.
this is only for domestic workers, jeez this article is misleading,
