Saudi OFWs with back pay set to get P10k ‘humanitarian aid’ each – DMW

The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) announced on Monday that overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who are claiming back wages from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are set to receive a P10,000 humanitarian package each. ..

said in a statement that the financial aid will be funded through a joint undertaking between the DMW and its agency, Overseas Workers’ Welfare Administration (OWWA), and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

Based on OWWA records, an estimated 10,000 workers will be covered by the assistance of the government agencies which will each fund an amount of P5,000.

A total of P50 million will be allotted by each agency to fund the aid for the claimants.

Since the bankruptcy of many Saudi construction firms in 2015 and 2016, more than 100 claimants have passed away while waiting to collect the accumulated back wages, according to the DMW.
