MP Abdulla Jabir’s resort company has been banned by the Philippines Overseas Employment Administration from hiring Filipino workers.
Yacht Tours Maldives was among several foreign recruiters and employers blacklisted by the regulator on Sunday for violating rules, the Philippines media reported. The disqualifications were aimed at “cleansing the industry” to protect the rights and welfare of Filipinos working abroad, officials said.
Jabir, MP for the Kaashidhoo constituency, is chairman of Yacht Tours.
About 3,000 Filipinos work in the Maldives, predominantly on resort islands in the tourism industry.
