[Title] => RP middle class relocating abroad for work — experts

The Philippine middle class has virtually relocated overseas as more Filipinos seek work abroad, giving rise to problems but also creating potential opportunities, experts and officials said yesterday.

It has been estimated that some eight million Filipinos or about 10 percent of the total population are now living overseas.

[Title] => Hiring of DHs unaffected by S’pore murder
[Summary] => Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Jose Brillantes said yesterday that the recent murder of a Filipina maid in Singapore, allegedly by another Filipina domestic helper, has not led to a drop in the hiring of such workers abroad.
Brillantes said he hopes the holding of the first ever National Domestic Workers Summit in Marikina City last Wednesday would help the government prevent tragic incidents like the recent murder in Singapore.
He hopes the summit would lead to measures to better protect the welfare of Filipina housemaids everywhere.

[Title] => Ban on OFW deployment to Iraq stays — DFA
[Summary] => The ban on the deployment of overseas Filipino workers to Iraq stays despite growing clamor from local recruitment agencies to lift the government restriction.
Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Jose Brillantes said the government is not inclined to recall the deployment ban because the peace and order condition in the Middle Eastern country is still volatile at this time.
"The ban is constantly under review," Brillantes assured, but added: "Right now, the review indicates wisdom in the ban."

[Title] => Libya bans Pinoy workers due to SARS
