Many Filipinos are even going to Iraq despite the travel advisory not to go there. They would rather die in Iraq that stay in the Philippines with hungry stomachs.
if you appply or renew for a philippines passport, DFA (Depratment of Foreign Appairs) will stamp your passport "Not valid for travel in Iraq" so that filipinos cannot work in there. but still they find ways to enter iraq illegally through other routes.
