Noli bares comprehensive rescue plan for OFWs in Lebanon

Task Force Lebanon began formulating a comprehensive plan to repatriate the remaining overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Lebanon despite the lull from the United Nations-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas.

Task Force chairman Vice President Noli de Castro said more than 11,000 Filipinos have already left Lebanon even after the ceasefire was implemented.

Records from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) show that more than 6,000 Filipino workers have been repatriated since the conflict in Lebanon erupted last month.

De Castro explained the difference is accounted for by the remaining 5,000 Filipino workers who opted to go with their Lebanese employers to seek refuge in other countries.

De Castro said the efforts are focused on repatriating the remaining OFWs in Lebanon being prevented by their employers to return home.

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) will lift the ban on the deployment of Filipino workers to Lebanon once the new guidelines on the training of overseas-bound domestic workers are approved.

They reported that new policy requires domestic helpers who plan to work abroad to undertake skills training so they can command higher salaries and that this new guidelines are ready and just awaiting the approval of the POEA board, possibly by mid-November.
