PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Friday said he is not keen on imposing a total deployment ban on overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) to Kuwait.
Marcos made the statement following Pangasinan 3rd District Rep. Rachel Arenas' call to totally ban OFW deployment to the Middle Eastern country due to 'heinous crimes committed' on Filipino migrant workers.'I'm never very comfortable 'yung nagba-ban na ganun dahil parang ang pag-ban sinasabi mo forever na 'yan, hindi na pwede ,' Marcos said during a chance interview.
'I don't know, 'yung sometimes overreaction 'yun na, basta't ban lang tayo ng ban, hindi naman tama ,' he added.In February, the Philippine government issued a deployment ban on first-time household Filipino workers to the oil-rich nation.This was triggered by the brutal murder in Kuwait of OFW Jullebee Ranara who was reportedly raped, murdered, burnt, and then thrown in the desert by her employer.
