13 February 2010 - The Philippine Embassy in Poland reiterated its warning to job applicants for deployment to Poland not to proceed, specifically those recruited as "mushroom pickers".

"There are approximately 86 Filipino women deployed or working as mushroom pickers  currently in Poland.  Majority of these workers are not happy with their jobs due to very low wages, unfavorable working conditions and/or substandard accommodations," Philippine Ambassador to Poland Alejandro D. del Rosario said.
