2021 Update: Listahan ng mga Trabahong 'Di na Maaaring Pasukan ng mga Pinoy sa Saudi Arabia




MANILA, Philippines - ISA ang Saudi Arabia sa mga bansang pinupuntahan ng mga Filipino na gusto mag-trabaho sa abroad dahil sa iba't-ibang oportunidad na maaring pasukan dito.

Ngunit sa ngayon, parami na ng parami ang mga trabaho sa Saudi Arabia na hindi na maaaring pasukan ng mga Filipino maging ng ibang mga expatriate workers dahil sa Saudization.

Kaugnay nito, inanunsyo ng Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development ng Saudi Arabia na ipapatupad na rin nila ang Saudization sa mga accounting profession simula Hunyo ngayong taon at sakop nito ang nasa 19 na accounting profession.

Kinabibilangan ito ng mga sumusunod:

  • Manager of account and budget
  • Manager of financial reports department
  • Manager of zakat and taxes department
  • Manager of internal audit department
  • Manager of general audit department
  • Head of internal audit program
  • Financial Controller
  • Internal Auditor
  • Senior Financial Auditor
  • General Accountant
  • Cost Accountant
  • Auditor
  • General accounts technician
  • Auditing technicians
  • Cost account technician
  • Financial audit supervisor
  • Cost Clerk
  • Finance Clek
Kaugnay nito, ipapatupad din ngayon taon ang Saudization sa mga trabahong nasa closed commercial complexes o malls na may layuning maka-gawa ng 51,000 jobs para sa mga Saudi nationals.

Kabilang sa mga nabanggit na trabaho sa mga malls ay ang mga sumusunod:

Noong mga nakaraang taon, una nang ipinatupad ng Saudi Arabia ang Saudization sa mga sumusunod na trabaho:

Light-vehicle driver, order taker, safety and security officer, food service employee, telephone operator, data-entry clerk, administrative clerk, secretary, general services supervisor, room service supervisor, maintenance supervisor, sales and marketing supervisor, safety and security supervisor, tourism programs supervisor, front office supervisor, supervisor of telephone operators, overseer, director of security and safety, acting director, maintenance manager, room service manager, customer service manager, administrative manager, sales and marketing representative, director of tourism programs, director of the front office at sector of staff relations.

Itinituring bilang pinaka-bagong nationalization scheme ang Saudization kung saan ang kompanya at negosyo sa private sector ay inaatasanhg kumuha ng mga trabahanteng Saudi nationals.

Matatandaan na noon, mga expatriate workers ang karamihan sa mga nag-tatrabaho sa private sector ng Saudi Arabia. Malaki naman ang epekto ng Saudization sa mga expat workers mula sa India, Pakistan, Pilipinas, Lebanon at Egypt.

PHILIPPINES AMBASSADOR TO SAUDI: REPORT IF YOUR EMPLOYER REFUSED TO GIVE YOUR PASSPORT
The KSA Ministry of Labor will also penalized employees with a fine of SAR2,000 if they keep their employees passport or fail to return them. Accordingly, reports says that the Labor Ministry and Social Development is giving EMPLOYERS ONE MONTH deadline to return the passports of their employees.

Previous posts about this generated a lot of comments that their employers are still keeping their passports and do not follow the Labor Ministry order. 


This is good news to many Filipinos, OFWs based in Saudi Arabia especially those working as household service workers.Some employers are keeping their passport so they cannot escape from maltreatment and abused. Some are simply keeping their passport so they will be hold hostage, especially if employers are not following rules and regulations agreed especially when it comes to salary, day-off and unfit labor practices.


Read some of the comments below regarding OFW employers withholding their passport from them
Quoting the Secretary General of National Society for Human Rights Khalid Al-Fakhiri said that holding an employee’s passport is a form of human trafficking. “What binds the employer and the employee is the contract. The passport is a personal document. No one has the right to take it because it becomes a crime of abuse and denial of rights,” as reported in Saudi Gazette.
