The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) reminded Filipinos that the government may have partially lifted the ban on the deployment of workers to Libya, but there are still 22 countries deemed not safe for Filipino workers.
POEA Administrator Bernard Olalia said Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), especially domestic workers or maids, face the risk of abuse in these countries.
