The Migrant Workers Department will seek an extension on the online registration deadline for former Saudi Oger employees who are seeking their unpaid backwages, GMA Integrated News’ Dano Tingcungco reported Monday on “24 Oras.”
“Wala pang paguusap between the Philippine government and Saudi sa claims ninyong lahat, hindi lang ng Saudi Oger, pati ng ibang kumpanya.”
(The website you are registering on is not a Philippine government website. This is a private initiative of Saudi Oger. The Philippine and Saudi governments have yet to discuss all the claims, including those on other companies.)
Nevertheless, the DMW wrote to the Saudi government and made it known that they intended to discuss the Crown Prince’s P532 million compensation fund.
As for those former Saudi workers who had yet to file any claim, the DMW said that these workers needed to email their former companies their proof of employment and inform them of their intent to file a claim.
The former workers would be given instructions on what to do next to acquire a claim form which they will have to sign, and which they will need to hang on to for now.
While the DMW would request for an extension on the registration deadline, there was no guarantee that this would be granted. — DVM, GMA Integrated News
