OFW’s Stranded in Saudi Arabia Says “Bring Us Home”
OFW’s stranded in Saudi Arabia are pleading to the Philippine government to bring them home. Due to oil price hike in the Middle East a thousand of Filipino workers lose their jobs and want to go back in the country.
A migrant support group said that some of our countrymen have not been paid for months in their work so they are forced to leave and worst even scavenging for foods in the garbage for left over in order to eat.
About 1 million Filipino workers abroad will be provided by humanitarian and legal assistance by the team that will be sent by our government announced last Friday (August, 05, 2016). The team will arrive this coming Wednesday (August 10, 2016).
According to foreign affairs department they will prioritize those who need food, medical care, and other support services for the stranded workers. For now this is only an opening relief but still they will focus on bringing home the stranded OFW’s.
