After the Philippines and Saudi Arabia agreed on reforms in labor policies for migrant workers, a country-specific employment contract for overseas Filipino workers bound for the kingdom will include protections for OFWs, Department of Migrant Workers Secretary Susan Ople said on Saturday.
“For the first time magkakaroon na tayo ng country specific employment contract. Yung contrata na ito specific sa OFWs bound for Saudi," said Ople on Super Radyo dzBB.
In addition, the Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development now considers passport confiscation as a human trafficking indicator. “Ngayon yung mga agency dapat nasa whitelist ng parehong bansa, bago mapagpadala ng Filipino worker.”“Dun sila makipag-deal kasi ang ibig sabihin non, matitino yung mga ahensya na yan,” Ople added.
