Ignore the rant jsli. Immigration officials at NAIA are now under scrutiny for violating Filipino's right to travel especially those who have genuine documents. Hopefully something good comes out of it. The reason why IO at NAIA are putting these restrictions is because of complaints from the recruitment agencies in Manila whose income is affected by prospective OFW's by-passing them. These agencies pay a certain amount to these IO's at NAIA so their clients can pass through the immigration without hassle. The more clients they send abroad the more profitable it is for these IO's.
If in the end they allow you to leave I hope you find a good job here in Qatar. Business or visit visas can be converted to working visas so no need to worry about it. Good luck!
