[Title] => 300 Pinoy workers in Iraq go on strike
[Summary] => Some 300 Filipinos employed at a US military camp in Iraq went on strike this week to protest poor working conditions, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said yesterday.
The workers, under contract with Prime Projects International (PPI) and Kellogg, Brown & Root (KBR), are based at Camp Cooke in the province of Taji, the DFA said.
KBR is a subsidiary of Halliburton Companies, which was once headed by US Vice President Dick Cheney.

[Title] => Pinoys sent to Iraq unaware of ban?
[Summary] => When was the ban imposed?
The 19 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who returned from Iraq yesterday knew there was a ban on deployment to the strife-torn country.
But like contestants at the once popular game show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire," they needed to be prompted for the precise month when the ban was imposed.
The OFWs arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) yesterday afternoon on board a Gulf Air flight.

[Title] => OFWs sa Iraq umakyat na sa 6,053
[Summary] => Sa kabila ng pagbabawal ng pamahalaan na tumungo ang mga Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) sa Iraq, patuloy na tumataas ang bilang ng mga manggagawang pumupuslit patungo doon.
Inamin ng mga opisyal ng Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) sa House committee on appropriations na umaabot na sa 6,053 OFWs ngayon ang nasa Iraq sa gitna nang ipinatutupad na ban ng gobyerno bunga na rin ng patuloy na karahasan doon at sa naganap na pagbihag sa Pinoy truck driver na si Angelo dela Cruz ng mga Iraqi militants.
