To: My Fellow OFWs

Ipagpaumanhin po ninyo ang mabagal na pagsagot ng inyong lingkod sa mga katanongan at "comment inquiries" sa ating munting tahanan. Ako ay kagaya rin po ninyo na isang OFW sa kaharian at may responsibilidad na ginagampanan sa aking pinaglilingkuran. Ngunit asahan po ninyo na bigyan ko po ng panahon ang mga nakabinbin na mga katanongan at inquiries sa lalong madaling panahon.

Karagdagang paumanhin po, nais ko pong ipaalam sa inyo na may mga komento at inquiries sa buwan ng Marso at maging sa buwan ng Abril (hindi po lahat) ay hindi po nakapasok sa "pending comments for approval". Kaya po ang iba ay nagtanong bakit hindi ko raw po binigyan ng pansin ang mga ito.

Nais ko pong ipabatid sa inyo na lahat po ay welcome sa ating blog, ngunit wala po sa ating mga kamay ang problemang ito kundi sa atin pong "web host". Kaya napilitan po akong bilhin ang domain name na "OFWEMPOWERMENT" upang makasiguro tayo na hindi na po mauulit ang problemang ito. Mapapansin po ninyo na ang ating website name ngayon ay http://ofwempowerment.com .

Maraming salamat po sa inyong pang-unawa at walang sawang pagtangkilik sa ating blog.

Saudi ministry of Labor revealed an intention of preparing a black list for local companies that do not pay its Employees on time. Ministry of Labor will not compromise with this issue because this issue is under the violation that against the Saudi Labor Policy.

The Ministry is working to completing, developing and applying Salary-paying Protection System that will make the facility paying its Employee through Money transaction. The Salary-paying Protection System will allow the Ministry of Labor and other related government authorities following up the salary paying process and observe any delay to deal with it immediately.

“The Ministry noticed a delay in giving the Employees their salary from some private sector companies. Labor policy punish such violation because salary is employee’s right.” - Dr. Mufarrij Al-Hagbani, Deputy Minister of Labour

Please note that I am an Overseas Filipino Worker like you and a visitor in this country (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). Therefore, we are oblige to obey their laws and respect their customs, culture, traditions and religion.

I am not a lawyer nor do I have influence in any Government offices in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I am not also a Philippine Government representative from the office of Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO/OWWA) or the Philippine Embassy.

You ask my opinion and my reply are expressed in good faith to the best of my knowledge and based on my own experiences as an OFW in the Kingdom for almost 17 Years and as a Community Leader recognized by our Philippine Embassy and Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) / Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA).

I take absolutely no responsibility for the consequences arising out of such opinion or views. That is why I am asking you to seek more exact and accurate advice from the Philippine Government offices in the Kingdom overseeing the plight of fellow OFWs.

Thank you.

Bong Amora
