The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) said only 600 healthcare workers -- particularly nurses -- are affected by the total deployment ban on healthcare workers.

POEA Administrator Bernard Olalia said this is based on the information the agency received from the Philippine Nurses Association.

“Iyong ating mga government hires , which are covered by bilateral labor agreement na may kontrata prior to March 8 will be processed and allowed to be deployed.” Citing the same figures, recruitment agencies are also calling for the lifting of the deployment ban as the country still have enough health workers that can be tapped.

Senate Labor Committee Chairman Joel Villanueva believes the problem is the lack of benefits and lack of security of tenure for healthcare workers in the country.Ronquillo, however, says while the contract is only until Dec 31 this year---- it may still be extended once the 2021 national budget has been passed.
