MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration is noticing an uptick in the deployment of overseas Filipino workers this year as the top countries of destination begin to ease restrictions.

 

POEA chief Bernard Olalia told state television on Monday that the deployment of sea-based workers is slowly returning to levels seen before the pandemic, without stating specific numbers.

 

“Unti-unti na po siyang bumabalik sa ating pre-pandemic level bagamat ang landbased natin ay medyo umaangat, hindi ganoon kabilis tulad ng seabased natin,” Olalia said.

 

(Deployment is slowly returning to the pre-pandemic level but the deployment of landbased workers, although it is slowly going up, is not recovering as fast as our sea-based workers.)
