Q: What do you think about the deployment ban in Iraq?
 It should be lifted because there are job opportunities for OFWs there.
 The ban is necessary for the protection of OFWs.
 I don't care about this issue.

POEA: No Jobs for Filipino Entertainers in Turkey

Aug 10, 2009

Female entertainers who want to work overseas are reminded by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) not to accept any job offers that would take them to Turkey.

 

An article that appeared in the website of the government agency said that the POEA is not processing employment contracts of overseas performing artists (OPAs) to Turkey. Likewise, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is quite hesitant to allow deployment of OPAs in the said country because there are no established rules and guidelines that would ensure the welfare and protection of OPAs there.

 

According to Labor Secretarty,  Marianito D. Roque they would only allow OPAs to work in Turkey upon the creation of a bilateral agreement between the Philippines and Turkey that would assure the safety and well-being of Filipino workers there.
