Pilipinas, nagpatupad ng temporary deployment ban sa Saudi Arabia





MANILA, Philippines — BAD news sa mga Filipino na papuntang Saudi Arabia, epektibo agad ang pansamantalang deployment ban sa mga overseas Filipino Workers o OFWs papunta sa nabanggit na bansa.

Sa memorandum na inilabas ng Philippine Overseas Employment Administration o POEA, sinabi ni Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III na "effective immediately" ang nasabing suspensiyon.


Dahil dito, 282 na mga OFWs na sasakay sana ng Philippine Airlines o PAL flight PR5654 papuntang Riyadh ang hindi na pinasakay ng Bureau of Immigration.

Ayon kay Bello sa memorandum nitong may petsang Mayo 27, nakatanggap ng report ang Department of Labor and Employment o DOLE na nire-required na ng kanilang mga employers o foreign recruitment agencies ang mga pa-alis na OFWs na bayaran ang kanilang health and safety protocols para sa Covid-19 at insurance coverage premium ng mga ito sa kanilang pagdating sa Saudi Arabia.

BASAHIN: Manggagawang nagka-Covid-19, may matatanggap na allowance mula sa Employee's Compensation Commission

Maliban pa ito sa pahayag ng Department of Foreign Affairs na sasailalim sa swab test at seven-day quarantine sa kanilang pagdating sa Saudi ang mga OFWs na hindi nabakunahan ng Covid-19 vaccines na aprobado ng Saudi Arabia.

Napag-alaman na apat na bakuna pa lamang laban sa Covid-19 ang aprobado ng Saudi Arabian government na kinabibilangan ng Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, at Johnson & Johnson.


Una nang inihayag ni Bello na maaring pumasok sa Saudi Arabia ang mga OFWs na nabakunahan ng Covid-19 vaccines na mula sa China, ngunit kinakailangan lamang ng mga ito na sumailalim sa quarantine.

Ito ang paglilinaw ni Bello matapos ang social media post na hindi tatanggapin sa Riyadh ang mga travelers na nabakuhanan ng mga bakunang gawa sa China kagaya ng Sinopharm at Sinovac.

Dahil sa hindi inaasahang pangyayari, maraming OFWs papuntang Saudi ang na-stranded sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport o NAIA.

Pinasiguro naman ng labor department na maglalabas ang mga ito ng official statement ukol sa pagbabalik ng deployment sa Saudi Arabia sakaling malinaw na ang lahat na mga isyu.

Pinasiguro naman ng opisyal mula sa Philippine Overseas Employment Administration o POEA na nakikipag-ugnayan na sila sa OWWA upang matulungan ang mga na-stranded na OFWs na karamihan hindi taga-Manila at walang sapat na pera.

Tips On How To Use Smartphone And Social Media Accounts Wisely For HSWs

Having a smartphone with internet and social media access is now a usual thing and even kids own it. For the overseas Filipino workers (OFW) who are miles away from their loved ones, it is a necessity.
 On the new memorandum of understanding signed between the government of the Philippines and Kuwait, which ended the deployment ban of OFWs to Kuwait, one of the provisions is to allow household service workers to own a smartphone in order to connect with their family back home.
Being allowed to have a smartphone has its many advantages if it is being used correctly and appropriately, otherwise, it can cause problems and it can cost even our cherished overseas job.

Being allowed to have a smartphone has its many advantages if it is being used correctly and appropriately, otherwise, it can cause problems and it can cost even our cherished overseas job. Advertisement Sponsored Links We collate tips on how to use your smartphone and social media accounts wisely to save from any possible problems that might arise if you do not use them right especially if you are working in the Middle East. Just recently, an OFW who recorded a video of her sponsor in Saudi Arabia without permission is on the brink of deportation and losing her job because she posted the said video recording on social media showing her female sponsor not wearing a headdress. It is strictly not allowed! Another domestic worker was charged with child pornography in Hong Kong by doing a Facebook live video of her sponsor's kid taking a bath. In cases of abusive sponsors, you may take a photo or a video but for the purpose of showing it to the proper authority only and not for social media posting. So our tip # 1 would be: Do not take photos or video of your sponsor or any member of their family and post it on social media without permission. As a social media account user, it is important that we secure our personal information well. Keep it from other people even from our sponsors. It is our right. Tip #2: If your sponsor asks for your social media or email account username and password, never give it to them. Even if we have the privilege of using a smartphone at work, it is important that we keep our posts private. For instance, a household worker who was assigned to clean her sponsor's room struck a pose for a selfie putting her sponsor's jewelry on. Later, she posted that selfie on her social media account with privacy settings in public. The sponsor's kid saw it. The result, her sponsor said that her wristwatch is missing and said she took it even if she did not. Tip # 3: Be careful and set your social media posts privacy settings always as private or which can be viewed by your friends only. Joy has been told to look after the child on her care while the kid is on the swimming pool learning how to swim. But as soon her employer left, she snapped a selfie and uploaded it on Facebook She did not notice that the kid she supposed to look after pulled another kid, a child of her employer's friend, under the pool. The kid told that matter to her mother and said that instead of looking after the kid, the nanny was busy taking selfies, that's why she did not even saw what the kid did to him/her. She could have prevented the kid from pulling him/her under the pool. Joy's selfie caused her to lose her job. Tip #4: Be mindful of your duties and do not prioritize doing selfies just to be updated with your social media posts. You did not go abroad just to take selfies. You are there to work and earn for your family. It is very important that we have a smartphone and its primary use is to get in touch with our family back home. You can get updates on what happening to them in real time and vice versa. It is also important that you keep updated contact numbers of people that might help you in case of emergency. Tip #5: Keep your mobile phone updated of important contact numbers of the Philippine Embassy in your host country especially the assistance to nationals hotline, your recruitment agency, or any friend that may extend help in times of trouble. Communication is very important. Nowadays, it is made easier by modern technology through the internet and calling and messaging apps that allow you to get in touch with your family and friends no matter how far you are. Maximizing the use of smartphones and social media to your advantage should come with a caution. If we are not careful with our actions, we can be held liable and can even cause us greater things. So enjoy being online and stay safe.

OFW In KSA Who Is Working Only For 3 Months, Sexually Abused By Employer's Son

The Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, has the most reported cases of abuse and maltreatment to OFWs especially the domestic workers. Just recently, President  Rodrigo Duterte has ordered a deployment ban of OFWs to Kuwait and said the ban will not be lifted until the conditions on making sure that OFWs are treated well be signed.

Duterte Declared Permanent Deployment Ban To Kuwait: Calls Out To OFWs To Come Home


President Rodrigo Duterte said that the deployment ban of overseas Filipino workers to Kuwait, especially domestic helpers, would be permanent.



"There will be no more recruitment... especially domestic helpers," said Duterte.



The president also urged every Filipino skilled workers in Kuwait to come home, as jobs would be available for them in the country.

China is considered among the possible future deployment destinations, workers could look forward to, where some 100,000 English teachers would be needed in the next five years.

There would also be a need for caregivers in countries with aging populations, with Duterte pointing to Japan as one of these possible destination countries.

Furthermore, the president said that the Philippines would need workers because of the bullish economy, and because of the government's "Build, Build, Build" infrastructure program.

As he made an appeal to Kuwait OFWs' sense of patriotism, the President said, "please come home."
Nevertheless, Duterte conceded that things would initially be difficult for returning workers, but matters would "straighten out" eventually.

According to the Foreign Affairs Department, there were 260,000 Filipinos working in Kuwait, with more than 65 percent of the domestic helpers.

However, The president expressed much gratitude to Kuwait for the help it provided to OFWs. He also reiterated that he had no ill will towards the Kuwaiti government, neither with its people. Nonetheless, he hoped that the Filipino workers who chose to remain in Kuwait would be treated humanely.
Meanwhile, Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said that the president's statement was misquoted and reports are sometimes inaccurate. The President reportedly said that the ban is now permanent -- that is not the case, he said. The President had said from the start that the deployment ban will stay for as long as there is no MOU and there is no justice.
Secretary Bello also said that he will still clarify the issue with the president.
