Qatar is drafting a “model job contract” for Filipino domestic workers, which would enable them to work in the country should the Philippines decide to include it in the list of banned countries, the news site “The Peninsula” said on Thursday.

Philippine Vice President Jejomar Binay said on Friday the Filipina who was wrongfully detained in Qatar after her name erroneously appeared in that country’s police database of offenders, has been released.

Four out of five overseas Filpino workers in Qatar do not save their money, according to the Philippine labor attaché there.

At least two Filipino women were among the four people killed in a road accident in Al Khor in Qatar Monday, a report said Tuesday.

At least 25 Filipinos detained in Qatar will regain their freedom after they have been granted amnesty, Vice President Jejomar Binay said Saturday.

Some 200,000 Filipinos working in Qatar can now send money to their families back home with a mobile phone money transfer service.

At least seven Filipino workers in Qatar, all women, have stopped working and are now seeking repatriation, after complaining of labor violations by the company that hired them.

Amid the rising number of problems raised by migrant workers there, officials of Qatar’s human rights body visited the Philippines to assure overseas Filipino workers (OFW) that the Middle East country is stepping up efforts to safeguard their welfare.

Twenty-six distressed overseas Filipino workers arrived in the Philippines Thursday following their repatriation from Doha in Qatar.

At least 10 Filipinos received clemency during the National Day of Qatar last December 18, the Department of Foreign Affairs said Thursday.
