The Kuwaiti government has ordered the Philippine Ambassador to Kuwait to leave the country in one week. On Wednesday, Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Renato Villa has been notified that he is persona non-grata in the country and ordered him to leave in one week, Kuwait News Agency reported.
The order came after the efforts to rescue distressed Filipino domestic workers organized by the Philippine embassy in Kuwait. The Kuwaiti government said the rescues were illegal and a violation of the State of Kuwait law.
“The State of Kuwait Government affirms that such acts and states constitute explicit breach of international principles and covenants,” the Kuwaiti government said in a statement.
The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said in a statement that the action taken by the Kuwaiti government was “deeply disturbing.”
“It is inconsistent with the assurances given by Kuwaiti Ambassador Musaed Saleh Ahmad Althwaikh during his meeting with Secretary Alan Peter S Cayetano in Manila on Tuesday,” the DFA said.

This is terrible. Normally I don’t take the side of diplomatic representatives but here it looks as though Filipino diplomats did the right thing. Migrant Filipino workers endure "shit" to look after their families

Dito sa Riyadh ang daming katulong na g rescue pero hinde ganyan gnawa kagaya as kwait,dapat mkipag coordinate kayo sa mga police muna bago gawin para maging legal,
Kuwait total ban for domestic helpers is way better than sending our fellow kababayans in the hands of abusive employer… mellenium way of slavery…..
Why the government of the philippines has to apologized,dont tolerate them,should relocate all the donestic helper in kuwait,let them clean thier mess????
They let her die?Why they didn’t question the employer?Justice???
Kudos to the Philippine Ambassador and his team. You showed how dignified Filipinos are and a domestic helper .Kuwait citizens need us more than we need them. Tapang lang nila pro tingnan lang natin pag wala na silang mga katulong…..pull out nyo rin lahat ng workers jan. They don’t deserve our skills.
why apologized if there’s no any violation done.. probably there is…
Di sya ang nag post oi
I’d like to know what arrogant Duerte have to say about this…or do!
well, the action taken by Philippines Embassy in Kuwait by rescuing its people who was abused was right.
in past few months, many cases were seen of abusing or unhappy domestic workers. and the action came after negotiations with kuwaiti government, but no proper actions were taken by Kuwaiti government. and Philippines government already mention it in news a week before the action.
if Kuwaiti government thinks its illegal, so abusing domestic workers are also illegal and strict actions should be taken on employers. but nothing like this happened or seen.
