The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) on Thursday said it is lifting the country’s deployment ban in Bahrain where people have been staging anti-government protests since mid-February.
In a release dated Wednesday, POEA administrator Carlos Cao Jr. said the lifting of the ban was based on the travel advisory and the alert level 1 (observation stage) issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) for Bahrain.
He added that the lifting of the ban was likewise based on the recommendation of the Philippine Embassy in Manama.
With the ban lifted, POEA will now resume processing documents of returning workers and new hires bound for the Middle East country.
The POEA earlier deferred the deployment of workers to Bahrain, Libya and Yemen due to the political and security conditions in these countries, after citizens started trooping to the streets to demand reforms in government.—JMA/JV, GMA News
