Philippine Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Adnan Alonto has directed the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in Riyadh to continue to uphold the government’s One Country-Team Approach (OCTA) and refrain from posting “baseless, irresponsible and malicious” statements on its official social media accounts that undermine efforts to protect and promote the welfare of overseas Filipinos.

“It has come to the attention of the Embassy that POLO used its official social media account (Facebook) to publish statements suggesting that the Embassy, (of) which the POLO is an integral part, and its officials are remiss (in the performance of) their duties and responsibilities as mandated by law,” Alonto said in a December 12, 2020 memorandum obtained by the Manila Bulletin.
