The Kuwaiti citizen also has a message to President Duterte.
"Hi Mr. President of the Philippines, I have a great respect for what you did. It shows how much you care about your citizens, that's amazing. That's really amazing. But we just love your people. We can't just let them go. We care about them," Aldhufairi said.
Earlier this month, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered a suspension of deployment of OFWs in Kuwait following the unsolved cases of maltreatment and abuse, some ended in deaths of OFWs deployed in Kuwait. Recent discovery of the body of Joanna Demafelis inside a freezer of the flat occupied by her Lebanese and Syrian employer has elevated the tension which resulted to total ban of deployment of newly hired OFWs who are to be deployed in Kuwait. President Duterte also said that Filipinos who want to leave Kuwait may do so in 72 hours at the expense of the Philippine government.
At the latter part of the video, Aldhufairi visited a few shops where Filipinos work showing how he appreciate their work ethics.

DFA Secretary Allan Peter Cayetano said the practice of some employers in Kuwait to hold the worker’s passports prevent Filipinos from leaving and report abuses.

Cayetano said that the common problems experienced by Filipino workers in Kuwait are as follows:
-Underpayment
-Delayed or non-payment of salaries
-Non-payment of overtime
-Prolonged working hours
-Transfer of one worker from employer to employer
-Transfer of OFW from Kuwait to another country in the Gulf Cooperation Council without worker’s consent
Talks between the DFA Chief with their Kuwaiti counterparts are underway to address the issues.
Cayetano added the payout system for domestic workers should be through automated teller machine (ATM) cards.
” At least when it’s in the ATMs, in the banks, there’s an electronic record so we’ll see if they get paid or not.”
Cayetano also opened the idea of an international hotline for migrant workers to use so that their concerns will be immediately addressed.
