The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has recommended the partial lifting of the deployment ban to Iraq amid its volatile security situation, saying some parts of the country are safe for Filipino workers.
Foreign Affairs spokesman Raul Hernandez on Tuesday said the department has proposed to the state deployment agency, the Philippine Overseas Em-ployment Administration, that the ban be lifted for the Kurdistan region, an autonomous region of Iraq, in response to its growing foreign labor demand.
