Filipino workers quit Kuwait after murder and suicides
12 February 2018
REUTERS - Duterte asked Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific on Friday to provide flights for Filipinos who want to leave Kuwait, after a the body of a Filipino worker was found in a freezer of an abandoned apartment.
“We have been informed that as of Friday there were 2,200-plus Filipinos who are willing to go home,” Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III told Reuters, adding that some of them had overstayed their visas and applied for an amnesty.
The airlines have arranged free charter flights, and Bello said almost 500 Filipino workers were due to arrive soon.
The Philippines suspended sending workers to Kuwait in January after reports that abuse by employers had driven several to suicide. Duterte said on Friday that suspension would remain indefinitely.

Re: Filipino workers quit Kuwait after murder and suicides
Dutuerte is on a roll this week already, he said Boracay smells like shit and the resort owners dumping sewer into the ocean have 6 months to clean it up or he'll shut down the island from tourism.
