Kung ano lalabas sa mapag-usapan, ibabalita namin sa publiko ,” he said during a virtual press conference Sunday.The POEA has temporarily suspended the overseas deployment of healthcare workers until President Duterte lifts the state of public emergency and host countries lift their travel restrictions.
