BI ready to implement changes in OFW deployment

January 7, 2020

Bureau of Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said they are ready to implement any changes in foreign policy or OFW deployment, should the Department of Foreign Affairs or Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) impose any new ban to Iraq, Iran, and Libya.

The statement on Tuesday came amidst brewing tension between the United States and Iran, following the death of Qassem Soleimani, head of Iran's elite Quds military force.

"The government's primary concern is the welfare of our kababayan, hence the BI is ready to implement any directive regarding our foreign policy or OFW deployment should the concerned agencies sees a need to implement any change," said Morente. DMS
