Saudization sa mga malls sa Saudi Arabia, epektibo na; 1-M OFWs, posibleng mawalan ng trabaho





MANILA, Philippines — SIMULA na ang implementasyo ng total Saudization sa mga commercial comlexes o mga malls sa buong Saudi Arabia.

Sunod ito sa anunsyo ng gobyerno na ipatupad ng 100 percent ang Saudization sa lahat na mga trabaho sa malls, maging ang mga trabaho sa ilalim ng mall management offices.

Ipinatupad ang Saudization simula noong Agosto 4 kung saan inilaan na ang lahat na mga trabaho sa malls sa mga Saudi nationals.

Bahagi ito ng desisyon ni Minister of Human Resources and Social Development Ahmed Al-Rajhi noong Abril na lumikha ng 51,000 na trabaho para sa mga Saudis sa employment market.

Ipapatupad naman sa 50% ang Saudization sa mga cafes habang 40% naman sa mga restaurants. Exempted naman sa Saudization ang mga nasa hypermarkets at supermarkets.
Hundred percent naman na hindi kasali sa Saudization ang mga trabaho na kinabibilangan ng mga sumusunod;

Nababahala naman ang grupong Migrante sa posibilidad na aabot sa isang milyong Overseas Filipino Workers o OFWs ang mawawalan ng trabaho sa mga restaurants, malls at iba pang lugar sa Saudi na isinailalim na sa Saudization.

Nananawagan naman ang grupo sa gobyerno na gumawa ng kaukulang hakbang at bigyan ng desenteng trabaho ang mga OFWs na maapektuhan ng Saudization.

Maliban sa mga trabaho sa malls, isinailalim na rin sa Saudization ang mga trabaho sa finance at insurance sectors. Una rito, nasa 91,000 na trabaho sa nasabing sektor ay okupado ng mga non-Saudis.

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 financial affairs and accounting
  • 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:
  • Trabaho sa mall management offices
  • Sales outlet ng mga restaurants at cafes
  • Mga trabaho sa major central supply market

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.

Panibagong 3 Sektor sa Saudi Arabia, Hindi na kukuha ng Pinoy Workers!





MANILA, Philippines — TULOY-tuloy na ang Saudi Arabia sa localization nito ng iba't-ibang mga trabaho na dating ibinibigay sa mga foreign workers kagaya na lamang ng mga Filipino.

Sa inilabas na report ng Saudi Gazette na may petsang Pebrero 18, 2021, inihayag ni Human Resources and Social Development Minister Ahmed Al-Rajhi na ipapatupad na ang Saudization sa mga trabaho sa restaurants, cafes, hypermarkets at mga malls.

Ibig sabihin nito mga Saudi national na ang iha-hire sa nabanggit na mga trabaho sa halip na foreign workers.

Sinabi din ni Al-Rajhi na mahigit sa 28,000 na ang bilang ng mga Saudis na pumasok sa labor market simula noong Enero.

“We are targeting all sectors, activities, and professions, and we will invest in all opportunities so as to enable the sons and daughters of the country to take up jobs. We will soon implement a decision to localize the legal and educational professions also,” ang naging pahayag ni Al-Rajhi sa isinagawang pagpupulong sa mga miyembro ng National Committee for Contractors and the National Committee for Consulting Professions.

“A study has been completed to improve the status of occupational security and safety personnel working on company contracts in ministries and quasi-governmental entities, in addition to contractors with the private sector and set a minimum wage for them,” dagdag pa ni Al-Rajhi.

Kinumperma din ng minister na napakaganda ng resulta ng Saudization initiatives and programs noong taong 2019-2020. Ito'y matapos umabot 420,000 na Saudis ang pumasok sa labor market.

“The number of Saudis who joined the labor market in January exceeded 28,000 young men and women, through the branches of HADAF and TAQAT employment centers and employment support and empowerment programs."

Una rito, pinagbawalan na rin ng Saudi government ang mga foreign workers na makapag-trabaho sa customer care services o call centers.

Matatandaan na madalas kumukuha ng mga trabahante sa mga foreign countries kagaya na lamang ng US, UK, India, Pakistan at iba pang karatig-bansa ang mga negosyo sa Saudi para sa kanilang customer care services.

Sa direktibang inilabas, limitado na sa mga Saudis ang trabaho sa customer care services gaya na lamang ng phone calls, emails, online chats at social media interactions.

Sa ilalim ng direktiba, ibibigay na sa mga Saudi local ang lahat na mga trabaho sa ilalim ng customer care services upang mabigyan ang mga ito ng mas malaking opportunties.

Many people believe that opening and starting a sari-sari store is an easy thing to do. But have you asked yourself a question why many sari-sari stores struggle to survive and eventually closed after a few months of opening? Many of us think that all we need is a capital in starting a sari-sari store. But honestly, money is not only we need. There are many things we have to consider in starting a sari-sari store and manage it successfully. If we run it well a sari-sari store is a good additional source of income for a family. If you are planning to open a sari-sari store, consider this 10 things that may help you in running your store successfully. If you already have a sari-sari store but struggling on it, this tips may also help you. 1. Your Store Location! This is very important in all types of business. When starting a sari-sari store, consider first your location. Opening a sari-sari store next to or in front of your house is a good idea since you can save from paying rent. But make sure this place is located in a busy neighboorhood that can give you more potential customers. Also consider opening a sari-sari store in a place that is near in school vicinity, town plaza, public terminals o boarding houses. 2. Start Selling With Basic Items When starting a sari-sari store, even a mini one, start with the basic items depending on your location. If it is in front of the school, you may sell school supplies together with snacks, candies, soft drinks and varieties of chichiria. If your store is located in the middle of a residential area, you may sell, cellphone load, laundry powder, canned milk, and condiments. Many sari-sari stores start with a small capital, so the target here is to sell your product fast to roll your capital faster. In this way, you can grow your business easily and you can quickly establish a connection with your customers. 3. Set out your price carefully Compared to supermarkets, the price of sari-sari store products is a little bit higher. To maintain your customer, try not to set a too high-price on your goods especially if you are competing with existing store nearby. With reasonable prices, your customer will be loyal to you and patronage your business in the long run. 4. Treat the sari-sari store as if it is not yours Even if it is yours, but as the one who manages, you should be very careful and honest with the inventory, the cash flows, and earnings. You have to make sure that cash on hand matches the items sold for the day. You and your family members must pay for whatever items they take or consume from the store. Consuming your goods without paying for them will not only diminish your display, but it will also shrink your capital. Remember this is business and you have to implement such things to make sure you have an income to buy supplies you need for your store. 5. Take only the profit Almost all the sari-sari store starts with a humble beginning. But if you want to grow your mini-store, take only the profit on your earnings. Know the "rule of thumb". Set aside the 10 percent of day's earning. For example, in a day, you sold P500 worth of goods, take away P50 as your profit. Taking only the profit ensures the rest of your capital in the inventory. With this, you can also realize how big or small is your profit is and be more motivated in slowly growing your business. 6. Maintain the quality of your products Watch out if you are selling perishable goods or fresh products such as vegetable or meat. Make sure they are not expired, rotten or damage when you sell it to your customers. You won't like it when a customer is asking for a refund while returning a rotten egg or decaying vegetables. Cookies, chips, and biscuits should be displayed away from direct sunlight. Check for ant infestations on noodles, candies and chocolates and other products that may attract ants. Discard rotten vegetables that are unpleasant for the customer's eyes. 7. Watch out for seasonal items There are products that are sold quickly during a certain period of the year so you have to take note of these items. For example, during the school opening, you have to stock-up school supplies if needed. Beer and a lot of alcoholic drinks, soft drinks, ingredients for spaghetti or macaroni salad during fiesta or Christmas season. Candles and matches during All Souls Day and so on. Take note also for products for the rainy season such as noodles, champurrado, and coffee while juice drinks, and ice candy, lemonade, and other refreshments on summer days. 8. "Credit is good but we need cash" If you want your sari-sari store to survive and grow, you have to impose "No Credit Policy". Many people may not like this idea but, without money, you cannot buy new goods to sell. Credit is also one of the many reasons why many sari-sari stores in the country do not prosper or eventually closed down. All you need here is to explain to your customer that every peso counts on your daily profit and you need the money to roll out your capital. 9. Develop a friendly attitude In a sari-sari store, your neighbors are your most common customers. They can be loyal customers if you treat them warmly. Smile even you are tired and be ready to serve them, regardless of the number of goods they buy from you. Say thank you and make sure they get the right products and give the exact change. 10. Register your business Registering your sari-sari store makes your small business more credible and more trustworthy. Those business certificates will tell your customers that you are complying with the laws. Good luck with your sari-sari store business!


Worrying is a part of the life of many Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) while working far away from their families. Being miles away from the people you love is not easy especially if you are a father or a mother to young children. Aside from missing home, worrying is one thing that keeps OFW awake every night thinking about the situation of their loved ones back home. It is normal to be worried especially you are far away from your family, but it is also important to do some things so that you can live a worry-free life while working abroad. 1. OFWs are often worried about getting sick and not having enough savings for a medical emergency. As an OFW we are worried that we might get sick while working abroad. Being sick far away from the family is one of the worst feelings in the world because no one will take good care of you. Aside from this, getting sick or being ill will affect the people that depend on you back home. Avoid sickness while working abroad by eating healthy, take vitamins and get exercise or any physical activity. Get yourself checked by a doctor once in a while as important steps to lessen your worry about getting sick. Getting health insurance will also help you prepare for unforeseen medical expenses. Getting these things will help you focus on getting better while working without worrying about your health. 2. As an OFW, you should be motivated to live with a healthy lifestyle What is the main reason why you are working abroad? Is it your family? Is it your goal to have a house or a small business for your parents? As an OFW, there are many things we want to achieve while working abroad. But we cannot do all these things if we are not healthy. Practicing a healthy lifestyle is a big help in attaining our goal. Make a specific goal for your healthy lifestyle. For example, you want to have a target weight. Focus on it and have a better diet. Always remember that healthy lifestyle reduced many diseases, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and stress among others. 3. Maintain a long-distance relationship! One of OFW's greatest challenge is how to maintain a healthy and happy long-distance relationship, whether you are a parent, a child, or a sibling. But with the use of technology nowadays, maintaining long-distance relationships is not that hard. As a family, you can set up a group chat or video calls on the agreed schedule. With this, you will not miss some important occasions back home even just on the screen of your phone. If you are a parent OFW, talk to your children regularly and be involved in their lives even you are far away. Constant communication with your children will play a very important role while they are growing up. Talk to them and explain to them why you are working abroad. Staying connected with your family is comforting and uplifting even your are far and physically apart. 4. Save! One out of 10 OFWs is financially broke and eight out of 10 OFWs returned to the Philippines without savings. While earning big, it is important for OFWs to know how to save for their own retirement or for medical emergencies at home. With enough savings, you can start a small business for your family to have extra income. You can also invest your hard-earned savings into something that will return the investment after a few years. In saving money, you should not send all your salary to your family back home. Practice the popular phrase "Pay Yourself First" which means you have to save something for yourself first from each paycheck at the time you received your salary before spending it. With enough savings, you won't worry about what to do in the Philippines if you are no longer capable of working abroad. 5. Prepare for Your Retirement We always say this, working abroad is not forever. That is why it is important to think and prepare for your retirement even if you are just started working abroad at the age of early 20s. OFW life does not guarantee that still, you will be able to work after 10 or 20 years from now. Nowadays, there are many OFWs still working in spite of retirement age due to lack of savings or lack of retirement fund. Prepare for your retirement by building a retirement fund if possible. If your retirement plan is at hand, you can retire earlier than expected and do the things you love for the rest of your lives.

The Middle East labor market has taken another turn for the worse for prospective foregin applicants. Saudi Arabia and Oman has set new restrictions on foreign nationals looking for work in these oil rich region. In a bid to stem the growing number of unemployment among locals, countries in the region are tightening the rules and limiting the vacancies available for expats. Minister of Labor and Social Development Ali Al-Ghafees has issued a decree to limit work in 12 new activities to Saudi men and women starting September 2018. The 12 work areas banned for expats are: watch shops, optical stores, medical equipment stores, electrical and electronics shops, outlets selling car spare part, building material shops, outlets selling all types of carpets, automobile and mobike shops, shops selling home furniture and ready-made office material, sale outlets of ready-made garments, children clothes and men’s supplies, household utensils shops and pastry shops. Oman's Minister of Manpower, Abdullah bin Nasser Al Bakri has issued Ministerial Decree 2018/38 last Sunday, imposing a six-month ban on hiring foreigners seeking work in 10 different industries. The ban includes jobs in the following sector: IT media air traffic management engineering accounting and finance technicians insurance marketing and sales administration and human resources According to minister Abdullah Al Bakri, the new ban, implemented immediately, aims to increase the employment rate among nationals. The hiring freeze “would help companies to create vacancies for Omanis who are looking for jobs,” he said. According to the Ministry of Manpower, there were nearly 60,000 unemployed university graduates in 2017 - the country's worst job crisis in 40 years. The ban affects 87 different job types across ten job sectors.
