THE TRAVEL BAN ISSUE

COMMENTS LANG PO....
The decision to maintain the ban has become political, and it has something to do with PGMA's election image.

Lebanon for example. The reason for ban was the Israel-Hezbollah war. But it's been a long time since the war ended but DFA is yet unwilling to lift the ban. BECOZ if they lift the ban, there will be a big howl fom Nigeria OFWs.

Di hamak na mas malaki magpasweldo sa Nigeria. Di nga lang in demand ang mga DH dito kaya kunti lang makapunta.

Di tulad ng Lebanon, college or HS grad puede, at 200 USD and no salary for 3mos, ok na rin sila.

If they can consider the lifting of ban to Lebanon and Iraq, what is preventing them from doing the same to Nigeria? It's either self-inflicted ignorance of DFA, or ego/pride ni Este-ban, or walang kinikita taga DFA.

The wisest decision here to counter the job losses in other countries is to lift the ban to the "Apat na Sikat" na bansa -- Iraq, Lebanon, Nigeria at Afghanistan.

If Este-ban feels an itch to slap a ban to protect Filipinos from kidnappings/beheadings, he can do so against KSA, Somalia, Rwanda, Sudan and -- Philippines...

Either of the two lang:1. Pera - takot seguro sila na kung may mangyayari mang gulo, gagastos na naman sila. Kung sa ibang lugar na walang ban, OK lang miski inaabuso at nire-rape kasi mga laborers at DH lang naman ang mga nandun na pwede lang nilang isnabin. At baka ubos na ang OWWA fund or ayaw gastusin ang OWWA fund kasi gagamitin for the 2010 elections. And, ayaw din ng BI na mahinto ang ligaya nila.2. Pride (or tigasan ng ulo) - ayaw lang ni este-Ban and Co. na umatras sa nabitawan nilang desisyon. Sino ba ang mga OFWs na ito to tell them what is right or wrong? Sila na mga HONORABLES, pinagsasabihan ng mga ultimong OFWs? Mas marunong at madunong sila, no?
