HONG KONG - The International Migrants' Alliance Hong Kong and Macau Chapter is calling on President Rodrigo Duterte to exempt Hong Kong-based migrant workers, residents and students enrolled in Hong Kong's universities from the Philippines' China travel ban.
"Now, what we're demanding from the Philippine government is to, not exactly lift the travel ban, but to exempt the Filipino workers in Hong Kong and Macau to allow them to leave the country, also the Filipino residents in Hong Kong and Macau," said Eman Villanueva, secretary general of United Filipinos in Hong Kong.

In Manila, a Palace official said the Philippine government will make daily assessments of the situation in China, Hong Kong and Macau before allowing Filipino migrant workers to fly out as Duterte wants to ensure safety measures are in place for the workers.
