Sinuspinde ng pamahalaan ang deployment ng overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) sa Oman sa gitna ng COVID-19 pandemic, ayon kay Department of Labor (DOLE) Secretary Silvestre Bello III.
“Yes, a POEA (Philippine Overseas Employment Administration) Board Resolution was issued suspending deployment of our workers to Oman,” ani Bello sa isang phone interview ngayong Biyernes.
Ayon kay Bello, isinagawa ang hakbang base sa rekomendasyon ng Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) matapos ipagbawal ng Oman ang pagpasok sa kanila ng mga travelers mula sa Pilipinas.
“Last Monday, we received such referral from the DFA. They informed us that the Oman government came up with an order banning entry of Filipino travelers and even those travelers who passed through the Philippines,” sabi ni Bello.
“As such, the DFA recommended to us to suspend our deployment to Oman,” dagdag pa niya.
