According to the Philippine government, there is no intention to impose a travel or deployment ban to Saudi Arabia and Iran despite the tension between the two countries. The DFA through their spokesman Charles Jose said that:
“We have no plans at this time to raise an alert level or implement repatriation or impose travel or deployment ban."
There are over 2 million OFWs in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain that might be affected in case war will escalate. But to note, as overseas workers ourselves based in Saudi Arabia, we are living a very normal life right now. Most people commented that the war is only in the media.
