Kuwait City: A prominent Filipino parliamentarian called for a comprehensive ban on sending her country's workers to Kuwait, criticizing what she considered a failure on the Kuwaiti side to provide adequate protection for those workers.

This escalating demand came from Representative Rachel Arenas, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Philippine Parliament, who described her proposal as “a punitive response to the Kuwaiti government’s decision regarding suspending the issuance of new visas for Filipino workers.”
