MANILA\u2014 Libya Embassy to Manila has called on the Philippine government to re-evaluate its alert level imposed in the country saying they need to hire more professionals for hospitals and oil companies.<\/p>\n

In a press conference Thursday, Libyan Charge d\u2019Affairs to Manila Ahmed Eddeb said situation in the state has now improved.<\/p>\n

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has maintained Crisis Alert Level 2 in Libya.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe care about the Filipino people. We greatly value their contribution to the Libyan economy either in the oil fields or in humanitarian assistance in hospitals and clinics. If there\u2019s a risk for them, we would not (ask) for the lifting of the ban,\u201d Eddeb told reporters.<\/p>\n

He added that Libyan employers are particularly seeking Filipino workers for their excellent work ethics, dedication and competence.<\/p>\n

According to the Libyan official, before the 2011 uprising that led to the ouster and death of Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi, there were around 26,000 Filipino workers in the country.<\/p>\n

This dwindled down to 3,000 in 2017 following a mass repatriation of at least 10,000 Filipinos in 2011, and another 4,000 workers when a civil war broke out in 2014.<\/p>\n

On Sept. 2, 2017, former Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto Yasay, Jr. approved the lowering of the crisis alert level for Libya from 4 to 2.<\/p>\n

Alert level 4 calls for mandatory repatriation while Level 2 is only a restriction phase.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The recommnedation was made by a Security Assessment Team after an evaluation was conducted from Aug. 9 to 13 in Tripoli, Libya.<\/p>\n

According to the DFA, Alert Level 2 is issued if there are threats to the life, security and property of Filipinos arising from internal disturbances, instability, and\/or external threat.<\/p>\n

While new labor deployment is still prohibited, DFA earlier said overseas Filipinos with valid and existing contracts are guaranteed will be allowed to return to Libya if they so desire.<\/p>\n

Eddeb reiterated that the situation in Libya has improved since the last assessment in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need more than 26,000 Filipino workers to (help) repair, rebuild and rehabilitate due to lots of destruction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did our best in convincing officials of the Philippines to try to lift the ban totally.<\/p>\n

They are still very worried about the safety of workers. But our main request is just try to re-evaluate the security situation in Libya. We see the situation as normal now,\u201d Eddeb added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
