The travel ban is officially lifted. I am exhausted after this long fight but I am relieved that we finally have the right to return home. We will remain observant to ensure the transition back goes smoothly for everyone.

We the overseas Filipino citizens based and working in the United Arab Emirates, would like to call upon the Philippine government to hear our voice to lift the travel ban from UAE to Philippines.

We Filipinos citizens have the rights to come home to our own country and without any difficulties in traveling.

We Filipino citizens in the UAE are vaccinated and safe.

Let us join and gather signatures so that the Philippine government hear our voices to lift the ban for us OFW or Overseas Filipino Workers and Filipino Nationalities travelling from the UAE to the Philippines.

Lets fight for our rights #LIFTUAEBAN

Most OFWs in UAE are fully vaccinated and we do our PCR test every week for free. It is so unfair that OFWs from UAE are ban from entering the Philippines. Pilipino po kami. Hindi po kami dayuhan. At lalong hindi po kami ang virus na inyong kinakatakutan.

Cases are soaring up despite the ban! Meaning we the OFWs are not the problem! Ang mga tao jan an pasaway and kailangan bantayan, may nagpa party, may nagpapa boxing, may pasabong pa! Ano ba yan? Magisap nman sana logically ang mga authorities jan sa pinas.

Our flight was cancelled twice already. Me and my son is already earning fines because our visa was already cancelled, we can't afford to buy new tourist visa. We don't intend to go back here in Dubai already, we plan to stay in the Philippines for good.

Sana naman po lift na yung ban dto sa uae, marami napo kaming overstay at wala ng visa dto. Instead po na may maiuwi kaming pera sa pamilya namin eh magagastos pa po namib sa panibagong visa para lang po di makapg fine. Sana po alisin nyo na yan, salamat po.
