The Department of Labor and Employment on Thursday lifted the ban on the deployment of overseas Filipino workers to the Federated States of Micronesia, but deployment ban to Libya remains.
Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said that the governing board of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration is set to approve a resolution imposing a total deployment ban to Libya.
Bello said POEA Governing Board Resolution No. 5-A, series of 2018 lifted the deployment ban in Micronesia upon the recommendation of the Department of Foreign Affairs. Vito Barcelo
“On the basis and recommendation of the DFA, the governing board of the POEA issued a resolution lifting the deployment ban in the Federated States of Micronesia,” the labor chief said.
The POEA banned the deployment of Filipino workers to Micronesia following reports of alleged abuse and maltreatment on Filipino migrant workers in the Chuuk State Hospital.
