Saudi Ministry of Finance started paying the first and second batch of Claimants for unpaid salary from Saudi Oger and eventually going to pay other eight companies including MMG Bin Laden Group, J&P etc. Some of those who are on first and second batch they were able to encash or transfer to their personal bank account the cheques issued by Alinma Bank.
For Filipinos already in Philippines, their cheques were delivered by DHL. The said cheques in Riyals can be brought to any Landbank branch nearest you. Only 500 pesos to open an ATM Account while P10,000 for passbook account.
According to Saudi Oger claimants group after reviewing the Alinma Bank and communicating with the branch manager and the regional manager, the bank reported the following.
All financial claims were divided into 5 groups according to the value of the claim, where the first and second groups were paid, which were less than half a million Saudi riyals, and the third group was paid for those who had a limit of one million. As for the fourth group, for more than one million up to two million, and the fifth for those above that, the financial statements with the names are issued by the Ministry of Finance, not the liquidator, to the bank. Accordingly, the first and second group are paid. They were given a deadline of a month to complete it. The third group will be issued after that without specifying a timetable for that, as Payment will be made to everyone who was on the court’s first and second names list, even if a ruling has not yet been issued against them, because the one who pays is the ministry and not the liquidator, according to the agreement with the ambassadors, and the Filipino workers were paid for
