Ople said that she will also meet with the Saudi Ministry of Human Resource and Social Development, headed by Minister Al-Rajhi.

“We will be discussing with my counterpart the steps forward. So ‘pag na-approve ‘yong list of claimants, or magkaroon ng unified list, what happens next? So those are the kind of official talks with Minister Al-Rajhi of the Saudi Ministry of Human Resource and Social Development, the formal talks would be on Wednesday,” she said.

“We will be meeting also with the private sector there, we will of course be meeting with the new head of their human rights commission. Hopefully this will open doors to more jobs for our workers, better protection, especially for those in the more vulnerable categories like our kasambahay, a possible discussion on wages, and resolution of the claims of unpaid wages of around 12,000 to hopefully around 14,000 Filipino workers dating back to 2015 to 2016,” she added.
