JUST IN: Philippines raises overseas deployment cap on nurses, health care workers

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration earlier this month suspended the overseas deployment of newly hired medical professionals after the 5,000 annual ceiling for new hires was breached on June 1.

"HCWs falling under MCS with perfected contracts as of May 31, 2021, shall form part of the adjusted ceiling," he said in a statement. "There are reasons to allow health workers to seek good jobs abroad," Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello told a news conference. "We will make sure we will not run out of nurses and doctors."More than 200,000 nursing graduates have chosen to work in other industries because of meager compensation and benefits in the healthcare sector, Jocelyn Andamo, secretary-general of the Filipino Nurses United, told Reuters.

Bello supports deployment of more Filipino nurses, healthcare staff overseasMANILA - The Philippines' labor secretary said on Wednesday he will ask for government approval to allow 5,000 more healthcare workers to be deployed abroad, double the annual cap in a country that is one of the world's biggest sources of nurses. Less Filipino nurses, healthcare staff and so on would go overseas, if the salary would be better in the Philippines. But yeah, working your ass of for a few shitty ph pesos VERSUS working a maximum amount of hours per week and getting paid 3 or 4 times more abroad ... Ay dapat lng kc idedevolve nyo nnmn nurses sa lgu so give them the choice to stay and makipag awan sa slots or to look for work again aroad. 🙄

PH joins global calls for standard vaccination card for all travelersThe Philippines is joining other countries in appealing to the World Health Organization to establish a 'universal vaccination card' for all fully vaccinated travelers, a co-chair of the government's pandemic task force says. Good luck with Sinovac There already is one. At least 60 years old. I hate to think gusto na naman pagkakitaan yan. EU & Saudi are discriminating people vaccinated with china-made. How do we know western countries will not do the same? So, how useful is it going to be for many Filipinos who received china-made?
