No deployment of Filipino entertainers to Turkey

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration  cautions female job applicants against accepting offers of employment as entertainers in Turkey.
 
The POEA  is not processing employment documents of overseas performing artists (OPAs)  to Turkey and  the Department of Labor and Employment is not keen on allowing their deployment due to lack of established protective and monitoring mechanisms.

DOLE Secretary Marianito D. Roque said deployment of OPAs shall be allowed only in the presence of a bilateral agreement between the Philippines and Turkey to assure protection of Filipino workers in that country.
