00:00For those who are looking for a job, there is someone waiting for you in Singapore and Saudi Arabia.

00:10Find out what it is in the news of JP Soriano.

00:17The Ambassador of Singapore in the Philippines and DMW-Aden's Secretary Hans Leo Kavdak were even asked to dance

00:26in the celebration of Philippine-Singapore Friendship Week.

00:29The friendship also resulted in almost 200,000 Filipinos choosing to work or live in Singapore.

00:37Now, more Filipino skilled workers are needed there.

00:42Their priority is also Filipino nurses.

00:45Now, the need here is growing.

00:48We will be needing a lot more healthcare and allied healthcare workers, including nursing aides.

00:54And so there has been a push to recruit more of them.

00:59Aside from Singapore, there is a job opportunity for Filipino workers in Saudi Arabia.

01:04Secretary Kavdak, who is originally from Saudi Arabia,

01:08replaced the need there by adding more Filipino health and skilled workers.

01:13But mainly, because of the development of what they call giga cities or mega cities projects,

01:20then it will be along the lines of construction.

01:25One of the people applying for a job in Saudi Arabia is the former OFW in Kuwait, Annalyn.

01:30She is still nervous.

01:32Especially for a conservative and small country, she was able to find a job.

01:37Our lives are in danger.

01:39We don't know what we will face.

01:44That's why we need to be secured.

01:47That's what DMW is trying to do.

01:50They were able to review before renewing the current bilateral labor agreement between the Philippines and Saudi.

01:57And we're talking to them in terms of labor protection, in terms of safe, fair, ethical recruitment processes,

02:04access to justice, and other forms of protection, entitlements and health insurance, and standard contracts.

02:12Kakdak apologized to the affected workers in Saudi Arabia

02:17for not being able to receive unpaid wages from the oil companies.

02:25Up to 2,500 affected workers were able to receive unpaid wages,

02:33which amounted to 130 million Saudi Riyals or 1.9 billion pesos.

02:41But there are still more than 2,000 unpaid wages.

02:45We just have to be a little patient.

02:48Because from the Saudi side, this is an inter-agency effort.

02:51From the Philippine side, Department of Migrant Workers, DFA, Joint Forces.

02:56J.P. Soriano, reporting for GMA Integrated News.
