I suppose at least they're 'cutting their cloth'.

Personally I'd put a ban on sending women to any muslim country....unless they are muslims already. :NoNo:

Filipinos hold protest in Frankfurt

In Germany, Filipino protesters marched against the impending closure of the Philippine consulate in Frankfurt. ABS-CBN Europe's Danny Buenafe reports

I've noticed there have been protests also in Barcelona and Stockholm too

Probably a sensible move, save a stack of money and get some of the partygoing, trough feeding diplomats back home. I can't imagine Romania and Cuba have many OFW's or visitors from the Philippines.

UK Foreign Office should take note and close some of our representation
