 San Fernando City, La Union: Region 1 Council on OFWs Welfare: Department of Foreign Affairs Regional Consular Office I Director Edwin Joseph Edralin explains on the total employment ban of OFWs bound for Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Somalia, and Nigeria due to the reason that at present, the Philippines still has no government relations made with these countries. He advised all those workers who have been illegally recruited to work for these countries to reconsider to get them out of harm's way. Also present during the program "Ammuentayo" over DZNL Aksyon Radyo were OWWA Head Esperanza Cobarrubias, Miriam P. Aquino of PIA as the anchor, Apple Concha of DZNL, POEA-RC Chief Nonnete Legaspi-Villanueva, Eddy Almodovar of DZNL, and Sister Edith Pamparo, Diocese of San Fernando.
