MANILA, Philippines — The government of Germany did not officially ask for an exemption in the deployment cap for Filipino nurses, Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III clarified Wednesday.
“I want to clear the real situation. Germany never asked for an exemption from the deployment cap. I did not officially get a request from them but we were informed they are requesting 15,000 nurses and medical care workers,” he said over ABS-CBN News Channel.
“I did not talk to anybody from Germany. No negotiation, no transaction whatsoever from Germany. However it was the government of the United Kingdom (UK) that formally requested that they be exempted,” he added.
