Levin said that getting 1,000 Filipino workers would be extremely helpful in the current staff shortage that their country has. Despite tourism growth and improvements, they are yet to expand in terms of manpower which then leads to them needing workers from different countries. In addition to that, Levin also said that the primary complication in their hotel industry is labor shortage. With the agreement, the quota of foreign workers, Filipino workers in particular will increase. Levin is with high hopes that this move will resolve the labor shortage in both their cleaning and housekeeping labor problems.
