Filipinos in Bahrain

 * ... that 13 years after a Filipino ambassador said "Bahrain is the only country in the Middle East where there are no Filipinos in jail", a Filipino man there was jailed for cross-dressing?
 * Comment: I don't know if the hook seems misleading (the cross-dressing man was not the first Filipino jailed after the ambassador made that statement), but I was trying to make the hook more interesting.

 * ALT1: ... that due to the Bahraini uprising, the Philippine government temporarily implemented a "deployment ban" on Filipinos in Bahrain that prevented new Filipinos from entering the country?

The article itself checks out on length, time, sourcing, and so on, but a QPQ review is needed since the nominator lists seven prior DYK credits (see WP:DYK item 5). As far as the hook, I think the following deals with the reservation noted by the nominator:


 * ALT2 ... that in 1998 a Filipino ambassador said "Bahrain is the only country in the Middle East where there are no Filipinos in jail", but in 2011 a Filipino man there was jailed for cross-dressing?

This will pass once the QPQ review is done. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 04:19, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

 * ALT3 ... that due to the 2011 Bahraini uprising, the Philippine government temporarily banned the entrance of Filipinos into Bahrain?
 * Symbol confirmed.svg All good then. ALT3 above is just a shortened version of ALT1; any of ALT1, 2, or 3 are acceptable. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 17:54, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Nominator comment: My personal preference is for ALT2.  Spencer T♦ C 18:45, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
