Saudi Claims Update June 2023

Calling all Saudi Claimants for unpaid salaries for 2015 to 2019 from Construction Companies on default or declared bankruptcy. Takamol Musaned Company went he on Monda, June 19 to talk about 1 million job opportunities they will offer for the Filipinos but have not give an update for the unpaid claims of the Filipinos. Our government should press hard on this issue, they should not allow the Saudi Government to bring 1 to 2 million Filipinos in Saudi Arabia as new hired and yet leave the 10,000 Saudi Claimants of unpaid salary empty handed. The Saudi Government looks aggressive on recruiting Filipino workes and yet doesn't give a clear status on when to released the payment to affected OFWs. When Secretay Ople visited Saudi Arabia on May 24, although they said that the money were already forwarded to Ministry of Finance, they refused to give a specific timeline on when and how they are going to give the payment and if it's through Government to Government payment which makes it more unfair to all the claimants who waited for ages already to get their hard eraned money.

Migrant Workers Secretary Susan Ople welcomes the delegation from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Takamol Musaned Company headed by its Executive Vice President Fawzan AlMuhaidib.

The Takamol Musaned Company met with Secretary Ople and other senior officials of the DMW on Monday, 19 June 2023, to discuss strengthening their partnership and to explore opportunities for collaboration on the use of technology for ease of doing business to improve service delivery to OFWs and their families.

Takamol is a Saudi state-owned enterprise under the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, that introduced the Musaned, an electronic platform that aims to provide a comprehensive system to integrate and organize the labor recruitment and employment process of migrant workers in Saudi Arabia.

Our government lift the employment ban to SAudi Arabia on Novemebr 2022 after the Saudi Government promise to pay the unpaid salaries of the Filipinos but it seems the SAudi Government are now focusing to hire milion of Filipinos without paying first the thousand Filipinos who suffer during 2015 to 2019 due to construction companies in default.

Comment you name down below with the year you were repatriated and company. We will submit it to the office of Senator Raffy Tulfo for further investigation.

Earlier, Senator Raffy Tulfo expressed concern over the still unpaid back wages and separation pay of thousands of former Saudi Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who lost their jobs after their companies declared bankruptcy due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tulfo, Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Migrant Workers, filed Senate Resolution (SR) No. 505, seeking to look into the reported failure of former Saudi OFWs to register their claims for back pay despite earlier commitment made by the Saudi government to settle claims.

"There have been several reports of former Saudi-based OFWs claiming back wages and separation pay with utterly unsuccessful attempts to register their claims," his Resolution read.

Last Nov. 18, 2022, the Philippine government through the Department of Migrant Workers, announced that the Saudi Government has committed to settling the back wages and separation pay of around 10,000 OFWs whose salaries were unpaid when Saudi construction companies folded and declared bankruptcy a few years back.

These companies include Saudi OGer, MMG, the Bin Laden group, and other construction firms that have yet to pay back the Filipino workers.

Said announcement came after President Bongbong Marcos Jr. met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during the APEC Summit in Bangkok where the latter agreed to shoulder the P1-billion wage claims of the OFWs.

According to OFW-Family Club President, Roy Señeres Jr., only a measly number of around 200 OFWs were able to register as required by the embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia while the period of registration set by the Saudi Embassy was earlier set to end by January 31, 2023.

Reportedly, the process of registering claims was "tedious and chaotic," especially to some claimants who are digitally challenged and to those who have lost some pertinent documents required.

In filing the resolution, the Senator from Isabela and Davao said it is necessary to conduct an inquiry in aid of legislation to determine the extent of the problem and propose measures to address the situation.

Now Hiring- Job Vacancies in Philippines

The Department of Finance (DOF), Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Department of Budget and Management (DBM), Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), and Department of Tourism (DOT) have posted 3,320 vacancies online, in an effort to radically open up and widen the reach of government recruitment and to invite more young Filipinos to join the civil service.

As of today, 3,320 vacancies have been posted at Kalibrr.com, a jobs matching site, in partnership with the Bagumbayani Initiative, a program by Young Public Servants (YPS) that aims to promote positive change and integrity in the government by sustainably recruiting young people into the civil service. Bagumbayani Initiative started with a group of friends who come from different government agencies, and who decided to meet every Wednesday to talk about their experiences and stories in the civil service.

Of the 3,320 vacancies, 3,211 entry-level positions are from the BIR, 41 positions from the DOF, 31 positions from the DBM, 33 positions from the DOTC, and 4 positions from the DOT. Since the vacancies were published in an initial soft launch in April, the DOF has received 244 applications, BIR – 154 applications, DBM – 152 applications, DOTC – 18 applications, and DOT – 59 applications.

Applicants can now view the government agencies’ Kalibrr accounts through the Bagumbayani Initiative’s Facebook page, and through the following links:

“To ensure the sustainability of President Aquino’s good governance initiatives, we need a constant flow of young, talented Filipinos entering government with a critical eye and a hopeful heart. I had the privilege of meeting the late Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore a few years ago, and I agree with him when he says that the only way to change government is from within. To young Filipinos: your country needs you. We hope that you respond to this call to service,” Finance Secretary Cesar V. Purisima said.

“We need a critical mass of young, honest Filipinos who love the country to join the BIR. The 3,211 vacancies we have posted are around a fifth of the Bureau’s workforce: this is our chance to transform the Bureau into a vibrant organization that can respond to the changing times and demands of the modern taxpayer,” Commissioner of Internal Revenue Kim S. Jacinto-Henares said.

“The presence of young people in government has opened new spaces for innovation in our agencies. The natural skill and creativity of so many young Filipinos has already contributed much to nation-building, and we now call on our youth to join us in our pursuit of crucial budget reforms. We can all play a more active role in public leadership and service, and there’s no better place to kick-start positive change than in government itself,” Secretary of Budget and Management Florencio “Butch” Abad said.

“There is much to be hopeful for in public transportation. As one transport expert said, the true test of a developed country is not when the poor get to ride cars, but it is when the rich take public transportation. We encourage the youth to come aboard ‘daang matuwid’ and help us prove that even transportation can be more fun in the Philippines,” said Secretary of Transportation and Communications Joseph Emilio T. Abaya.

“Over the past few years, we have proven that the Philippines is a country we can truly be proud of. Tourism has now become a national industry, generating billions in terms of revenue and creating millions of jobs for our people. And although we have achieved where we are now, this is only the beginning. The biggest responsibility of the youth is to ensure the future. We invite our young people to join the public service and help continue the story of our country’s success,” Secretary of Tourism Ramon R. Jimenez, Jr. said.

“Kalibrr is excited at the opportunity to partner with government to help them fill their vacancies with the best talent the Philippines has to offer. With Kalibrr’s technology and social media reach, we’re confident we will help the government achieve its national recruitment goals,” says Kalibrr Chief Executive Officer Paul Rivera. Kalibrr is the sole Philippine-based startup that aims to solve recruitment in the Philippines. The company is backed by Y Combinator – the Silicon Valley giant behind tech giants AirBnB, 9Gag, Reddit and Scribd. Other strong patrons of the firm include EBay’s Pierre Omidyar, and Globe Telecom’s Kickstart Ventures. With only six months of full operations, Kalibrr has already provided over 1,500 jobs to seekers and has gained the trust of almost 4,000 companies.

“Young Public Servants is proud to take part in the Bagumbayani Initiative, and we support its mission of bringing the best and the brightest young Filipinos to directly take part in nation building through the civil service. Good governance lives because of the hope and energy of our youth,” Natalie Cristine Jorge, Lead Convenor of Young Public Servants said.
