MANILA — Philippine Government officials failed to convince the Taiwan Council on Labor Affairs (CLA) to lift the suspension it imposed on the processing of working visas of Filipino laborers.
Labor Secretary Arturo Brion and Administrator Rosalinda Baldoz of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), who arrived recently from the Taipei, were unable to persuade Taiwan officials to allow the processing of visas for Taiwan-bound Filipino workers that were supposed to leave since last month.
Labor officials said the meeting between Brion and the heads of the CLA was “unsuccessful” since the host government refused to yield to the request of Philippine labor officials. (MSN/Sunnex)
