According to reports, the government will bring 18,000 job vacancies for Filipinos in the Middle East. Part of these is 2,000 job opportunities for teachers who want to work in the Department of Education (DepEd).

The planned job fair in the Middle East is being discussed after the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) banned Filipinos from working in Kuwait due to the deaths and abuse of Filipino maids there.

According to DOLE Chief Silvestre Bello III, real estate magnate and former senator Manny Villar is in need of 18,000 skilled Filipino workers while the DepEd is looking to employ 2,000 teachers.

According to Bello, although OFW's salary in abroad is a bit higher compared to what they get here in the Philippines, they should also consider the social implications.
