MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The overseas deployment ban does not apply to health workers who were able to secure employment contracts as of March 8, Malaca\u00f1ang announced on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made after the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID), in its Resolution 64 approved Monday, ordered the temporary suspension of overseas deployment of medical professionals.<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the IATF-EID on Thursday agreed to allow health workers with overseas employment certificate (OEC) issued by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) and verified employment contracts as of March 8 to leave the country.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Yung<\/em>\u00a0health professionals\u00a0na meron na silang mga<\/em>\u00a0OEC issued\u00a0po ng<\/em>\u00a0POEA\u00a0at meron na pong<\/em>\u00a0verified employment contract as of March 8, 2020 ay\u00a0pupwede pong lumabas ng bansa<\/em>\u00a0(Health professionals who secure OEC issued by POEA and have verified employment contract as of March 8, 2020 can leave the country),\u201d Roque said in announcement aired on state-run PTV-4.<\/p>\n

Roque\u2019s latest announcement came just hours after he said the IATF-EID would take into consideration the nurses\u2019 appeals to grant exemptions to medical professionals with existing employment contracts.<\/p>\n

The IATF-EID\u2019s Resolution 64 temporarily suspends the overseas deployment of health workers during the pandemic \u201cconsidering the continuing state of public health emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n

The task force, based on the resolution, also urges the Department of Health and government hospitals to hire healthcare workers to augment the workforce as coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) cases in the country continue to soar.<\/p>\n

The POEA earlier issued Resolution 09, which orders the temporary ban on the overseas deployment of medical workers abroad in a bid to ramp up the health workforce in the country amid the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Under the POEA\u2019s Resolution 09, the deployment ban is effective \u201cuntil the national state of emergency is lifted and until the Covid-19-related travel restrictions are lifted at the destination countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roque said the resolution issued by POEA \u201cprevails.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPwede rin pong lumabas ng bansa ang mga balik manggagawa o \u2018yung mga nagbabakasyon lamang sa Pilipinas at matagal na pong nagtatrabaho sa<\/em>\u00a0abroad (Workers who returned to the Philippines for vacation or are working abroad for a long time can also leave the country),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In a virtual presser early Thursday, Roque said he believes that the sense of nationalism of the nurses will prevail amid the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cSa tingin ko po, sa panahon ng pandemiya, mananaig naman po ang nasyonalismo sa puso at damdamin ng ating mga nurses<\/em>\u00a0(I think at a time of pandemic, nationalism will prevail in the hearts and feelings of our nurses),\u201d Roque said.<\/p>\n

Roque made this statement after Filipino Nurses United sought for the lifting of the deployment ban on healthcare workers as many of them remain unemployed.<\/p>\n

Roque said the government is already providing healthcare workers additional benefits such as risk allowance, PHP15,000 for those who get infected with Covid-19, life insurance, free accommodation and transportation, and free and frequent testing.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that once the Bayanihan 2 legislation is passed, healthcare workers in the private sector would also get salaries and benefits as competitive as those in the public sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
