The Daily Star:
Nine Lebanon-bound Filipino women were arrested in Manila’s international airport over the weekend on suspicion of illegally accepting domestic work contracts in Beirut, media reports said […] “It is obvious that the human trafficking syndicates are feeling the pinch of our intensified campaign that they are resorting to all means to bring their victims out of the country,” Manila’s acting immigration commissioner Ronaldo Ledesma said.
The government of the Philippines is actually negotiating with the Lebanese government on how to create a better environment for Filipino workers in Lebanon. Meanwhile, they are enforcing the ban on travelling to Lebanon for work.
