ANGARA WELCOMES PARTIAL LIFTING OF KUWAIT DEPLOYMENT BAN

The decision of the Philippine government to lift the deployment ban for "skilled" and "semi-skilled" Filipino workers bound for Kuwait is a step in the right direction toward normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries and ensuring full protection of our kababayans in the Gulf nation.

The Philippine government under President Rodrigo Duterte deserves our support for its effort to put in place more practical measures that would guarantee the safety and welfare of Filipinos working in Kuwait and the entire Middle East region.

We hope that our government will remain steadfast in ensuring that the labor rights of all Filipinos working abroad, especially domestic workers, are upheld and protected at all times.
