Deport All Filipinos Program (World of Sultans)

The Deport All Filipinos Program (Arabic: ترحيل جميع برنامج الفلبينيين) was initiated by the United Arab Emirates in September of 2013, which was as a result of an Arab and Indian desire to deport Filipinos from the United Arab Emirates, who were seen as a nuisiance to Emirati society, particularily those who were Roman Catholics.

There were many notable exempts from the deportation program, which included Filipinos were Muslim, Protestant, Anglican, atheist, Buddhist or non-Catholics.

This non-sense movement by Balabagan is threatening the Arabness of the Middle East, and needs to be quelled."
