TIMELY APPROVAL. Speaker Martin Romualdez delivers his closing message at the plenary of the House of Representatives before Congress adjourned Wednesday evening. The House passed the proposed P5.768-trillion national budget for next year by a 296-3-0 vote.
“The successful visit of President Marcos to Saudi is a solid testament to the dedication of his administration in ensuring the well-being and improving the lot of Filipino workers, through enhancement of the long-standing friendship and diplomatic ties between the two nations,” Romualdez said. Topping the four agreements is the $3.765 billion deal between Al-Jeer Human Resources Company and the Association of Philippine Licensed Agencies for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for investments that would employ Filipino workforce in the kingdom.
Meant to upgrade Filipino labor skills in masonry, carpentry, electrical, welding, equipment management, warehousing, steel fabrication, and other construction-related crafts, the deal aims to train at least 2,000 Filipinos starting in 2024 and more than 15,000 in the next five years.
