Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz has clarified that there is no Overseas Filipino Worker deployment ban in Korea. Recruitment agencies may still process job requirements for the country.
However, there is a temporary suspension for OFWs going to North and South Korea because of the recent tension that is developing in the peninsula.
OFW Deployment will resume starting December 7 as soon as Special Envoy Roy Cimatu gives his go signal.
Incase the tension escalates, the government has prepared a 25 million pesos fund to evacuate Filipino citizens.
