Petition text:
We, the undersigned, call to the Office of the President & Vice President of the Philippines to remove the travel ban to Nigeria.

We are constrained to address this petition to concerned authorities and through this medium with the sincere hope that their urgent and kind intervention will finally provide succour to our plight. We have written letters, sent numerous e-mails and made so many calls to our Embassy in Nigeria, the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Labour and Employment and the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration regarding this issue, but sadly it remains unresolved.

We have contacted members of Congress for their assistance but it is even more sad that our appeals have fallen on deaf ears.

On Nov. 17, Sec. Brion of DOLE issued a directive for partial lifting of the Ban, only to deferred/retrac it after one day.

Please help us spend the Christmas with our families.
