A new unified contract ensures the well-being of Filipino household service workers.
The Philippines will resume the deployment of household service workers to the UAE starting March 31, it was announced on Tuesday.
The decision was taken after delegations from the UAE and the Philippines have come to an agreement during a two-day committee meeting held in Manila from Monday to Tuesday.
The UAE delegation was headed by Saif Ahmed Alsuwaidi, undersecretary of the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (Mohre), while the Philippine representation was led by Labour Undersecretary Claro Arellano.
