Only Filipino workers who have work contracts and certificates of exemption from the embassy and who are on vacation in the Philippines are allowed to return to Libya, the embassy said.
“The Embassy is currently working with Libyan authorities to ensure the safety and security of Filipino workers in Libya and address other concerns that have been brought to its attention,” it added. The embassy then warned that Filipinos who are deploying workers to Libya from the Philippines and from other countries would be liable for violating the Anti-Trafficking Persons Act and the Migrant Workers Act.
The embassy urged the public to report such illegal activities the Philippine Embassy in Tripoli or to the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Labor and Employment, the POEA, or other concerned government agencies in the Philippines.
