UPDATE [March 11, 2011]:
Deployment of overseas Filipino workers to Bahrain is now allowed, both for returning workers and new hires, as per POEA Advisory No. 10.
The POEA has issued an advisory suspending the processing and deployment of all OFWs bound for Libya and Yemen until the political and security conditions in the said countries have normalized.
Administrator Carlos S. Cao, Jr. also instructed recruitment agencies deploying Filipino workers to the 3 countries to submit to POEA situation reports including a contingency plan of principals for their affected OFWs.

Here's hoping for a positive turn of events and the resumption of deployment in these countries.
