    Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said Sunday that a ban on Filipino workers from heading to Kuwait that's been in effect since February would now be permanent. https://abcn.ws/2Fr3apa pic.twitter.com/fJz5IiIJe5

        It’s disturbingly funny how the hypocrite Human Rights groups are so obsessed on protecting the drug pushers/criminals who choose to fight it out in Duterte’s drug war but they pretend to be deaf & blind on Filipinos being treated worse than animals in the Middle East.

        Blah Blah Blah, and yet Kuwait has over 250,000 thousand Philippine workers some with their families and some were born in Kuwait, they even had a nice gathering in front of the Philippine Embassy in Kuwait raising signs saying they don’t want to leave. Something is fishy.

        Oh oh, but there's the truth to this. About some Filipino workers, being maltreated in that part of the world. I had a first hand knowledge of this when i went to Jordan. Some, are not even getting paid, and being locked up in the house, when their employer goes somewhere.

        Let's hope the GCC don't ban Filipinos from entering in retaliation.

        In other words, Filipino’s are being held captive in their country. To bad, Duterte has become a dictator.

        Permenant as long as Rodrigo is the President and when a new President replaces him he may lift the ban so there is nothing called Permanent in policy so he should say for the time being until I leave my position
