While new labor deployment is still prohibited, overseas Filipinos with valid and existing contracts are guaranteed that they will be allowed to return to Libya if they so desire.<\/p>\n<p>As of Aug. 7, a total of 5,775 overseas Filipinos have been repatriated to the Philippines since May 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA \u2013 Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto R.
