MANILA, Philippines—Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (Poea) governing board has approved a resolution allowing the resumption of deployment of Filipino workers to Thailand.

“The Poea governing board, as duly convened, resolved to resume the processing and deployment of all Filipino workers, including both vacationing and new hires,” the resolution said.

The ban was lifted after the Department of Foreign Affairs lowered the alert level in some areas in Thailand from 2 to 1

The government stopped in January the deployment of newly hired overseas Filipino workers to Thailand due to escalating hostilities in the neighboring southeast Asian country.  Tina G. Santos
