MSEditorial Kuwait ups the ante We simply cannot compromise on the safety and welfare of Filipino nationals abroad, whether in Kuwait or anywhere else, because it is the duty of our government to ensure this.
It would appear this is nothing but a retaliatory act against the decision of our Department of Migrant Workers to stop the deployment there of OFWs, particularly household service workers, or HSWs, following the recent rape and murder of yet another Filipina in Kuwait.
But the shelter, like others established in places where there is a big concentration of OFWs, was created by law so that our government can protect the rights and welfare of our workers who have encountered problems in their places of employment. Our Department of Foreign Affairs sent a team of diplomats to try to get the Kuwaiti government to rescind their order denying entry to OFWs.
It appears that Kuwaiti officials did not expressly demand the closure of the embassy-run shelters but only said that Kuwaitis should run such shelters.
