What happen to the claims or our Overseas Filipino Workers against Saudi Oger?  The claimants will get the assistance from Department of  Migrant Workers very soon. Earlier, according to Inquirer report, the Saudi prince pledged P30.5 billion in payment for the claims of the displaced OFWs, including the late Pascual. But it wasn’t the first time the Saudi government made the pledge. In October 2021, former Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said his Saudi counterpart, then Labor Minister Ahmed al-Rajhi, offered to pay P4.6 billion for the claims of 11,000 OFWs by December 2021.

Filipino claimants for the unpaid salaries by Saudi Oger were advised to register online for the final listing of eligible claimants from the defunct Construction company.

All Eligible claimants are advised to transact only with the Department of Migrant Workers, POEA, and OWWA to make sure they will not be scammed.  The claimants may register online through http://ehqaq.sa/saudioger while inquiries and clarifications may be sent to Yousef-alswailem@saudiogerb.com or feedback@dmw.gov.ph. Saudi Prince earlier promised our President that the Saudi Government will shoulder the payment of the back wages in return to favor that the Philippines will lift the Filipino work ban in K.S.A.
