The Philippines will resume sending workers to Oman as soon as Omani government lifts travel restrictions on OFWs, POEA administrator Bernard Olalia tells state TV.
POEA Admin. Olalia: Kahapon po, nagkaroon ng pagpupulong si Sec. Bello at Omani Ambassador dito po sa Pilipinas.
POEA Admin. Olalia: Doon po sa pagpupulong na ‘yun, nagkalinawagan. Pinaliwanag po ng Oman government through the ambassador na hindi nila intention na harangin ang pagpasok ng mga OFWs at Filipino travelers going to Oman.
POEA Admin. Olalia: Ipinaliwanag din ng ating [Labor] Secretary na for practical reasons naman ang ating suspension deployment. Temporary lang po.
POEA Admin. Olalia: At dahil nagkalinawan na, nagkaroon po ng pagpipirma, undertaking na i-li-lift na po ng Oman government ang kanilang restriction to travel sa ating OFWs, Filipino travelers going to Oman.
POEA Admin. Olalia: Tayo naman po sa POEA ay inatasan tayo ni Sec. Bello na i-lift na rin po natin ang temporary deployment suspension.
POEA Admin. Olalia: Kapag nagkaroon na ng lifting sa Oman at tayo ay nag-lift na, ora mismo, tayo po ay makakapagpadala na ng OFWs muli sa bansang Oman.
