Dubai OFW repatriation requests double to over 6,000
The number of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Dubai requesting repatriation has doubled to over 6,000 in just three weeks.
Consul General Paul Raymund Cortes said the requests are increasing exponentially and are harder to process.
Cortes advised OFWs to delay their return due to the rising cases of the Delta variant in the Philippines.
Most of those requesting repatriation have expired employment contracts or lack skills needed for digitalization and restructuring.
