Philippines bans its workers from 41 countries
By Kate McGeown
BBC News, Manila
The Philippines has ordered a ban on the deployment of its workers to 41 countries, including Afghanistan, Iraq and India.

The government said it had issued the ban because the nations concerned failed to sign agreements protecting foreign workers from abuse.

The Philippines is one of the world's largest labour exporters: nine million Filipinos are currently working abroad.

The economy is heavily reliant on the remittances they send home.

Filipinos will soon be unable to apply for work in 41 countries blacklisted by the Department of Labour.

Some of these are nations with security concerns, like Afghanistan, Libya and Sudan.

Others, like India and Cambodia, have not provided what the government believes is an adequate guarantee that workers will be safe from abuse.

Most of the countries on the list do not actually hire many Philippine nationals, but the government has been under mounting pressure to do more to protect Filipinos who work abroad.

Critics of these new proposals say the ban could actually have the opposite effect - by driving Filipinos to work illegally, with even fewer safeguards than they had before.

Why they have not included Middle east.... They abused the most.... they are working on less wages and destroying the standard payage.....They have banned the place where they are not required..... hhahahah good joke
 
there is a hug business of Philipeenoz in Dubai .. and the business is of.....:D

I know what you are getting at, but thats just a sweeping statement. Many nationalities indulge in that trade.

From what I can see, Phillipinos are very hard workers. The only thing I have against them is that they are ready to work for very low wages, destroying the pay structure making other nationalities suffer.
 
most Filipino oversea workers work in South China, Japan, ME and the US.

so it's not a thing.
