unfortunately for you, as a filipino, you need a visa just to visit Spain, let alone work here

add to that the fact that there is very little work here, & you say you are working in Morocco, you're probably best staying there - at least for the time being

you need legal advice where you are

coming to Spain won't help because you'd just be illegal here too - even if you managed to get past passport control - which you can't without a visitor visa

I agree with Xabiachica on this one, however you may like to contact the Philippines Consulate in Casablanca, as you have access to the internet, and probably a phone you have two ways of contacting them. Your employer should not be holding your passport against your will. click the link below

Consulate General of the Philippines in Casablanca, Morocco

try contacting thm on the link fergie gave you - there are phone numbers and an address - tell them what has happened to you

if it really has closed down then try this one in Spain, phone or e-mail them & tell them

Philippine Embassy Madrid


but you cant enter Spain without a valid passport with a visa stamp
