Case Backgrounder:\u200b <\/strong>Ang problema ng eleven (11) truck drivers ng jeddah ay nag\u00ad-ugat sa Pilipinas bago pa sila lumipad paalis ng Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pagdating ng Saudi Arabia hindi nasunod work contract ng mga workers galing sa pilipinas at pilit silang pinapirma ng bagong contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 2016, dumulog sila sa POLO Jeddah at nagkaso ang 11 workers sa Saudi Labor Office Ang contract na dala mula Pilipinas, verified by POLO at aprobado ng POEA ay kontrata na walang silbi. Hindi nila ito magagamit sa Saudi Labor Office dahil iba ang pangalan ng company at employer ang nakasulat sa contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hindi rin satisfied ang mga workers sa paghawak ng POLO sa case nila sa Saudi Labor Office. Wala rin silang ginagawa laban sa mga abusadong agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pati subsistence allowance na para sa mga workers mula sa Compulsory Insurance ay di rin alam ng POLO kung papano irequest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sa kasalukuyan, nagmonitor ang Patnubay sa kaso ng mga workers sa Saudi Labor Office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pero tayo na mismo ang nagrequest ng subsistence allowance sa compulsory insurance nila na dapat ang POLO sana ang nag\u00adasikaso nito mula nang magfile sila ng kaso sa Saudi Labor Office noong January 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SA ARAW NA ITO, NAKUHA NG MGA WORKERS ANG BUONG 6 MONTHS NA SUBSISTENCE ALLOWANCE NA DAPAT AY NOON PA NILA NATANGGAP KUNG MAYROON LAMANG POLO NA NAGPAYO AT NAGGABAY SA KANILA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abu Bakr Espiritu<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ito sana ang disbursement natin.  ipapaliwanag ko kung bakit hindi ito nasunod<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abu Bakr Espiritu<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

for akiro deployed workers ang expected na amount na matatanggap for three workers ay 1200usd<\/p>\n\n\n\n

pero ang pinadala nila ay 4205.56 SAR<\/p>\n\n\n\n

which is equivalent 1115.53USD lamang (if ang ating conversion ay 1USD = 3.77SAR)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Western union receipt below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abu Bakr Espiritu<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ang nangyari sa akiro ang kanilang conversion ay 1USD = 3.50SAR<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abu Bakr Espiritu<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

kaya ito ang ating accounting for disbursement at liquidation para sa 3 workers deployed ng akiro (see below)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abu Bakr Espiritu<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

sa tc nivero naman ang expected total amount na matatanggap for two workers <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ay 1000 USD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ang pinadala nila ay 3699.12 SAR<\/p>\n\n\n\n

which is equivalent 981.21USD  (kung ang conversion natin ay 1USD =  3.77 SAR)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See Western Union Receipt Below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abu Bakr Espiritu<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ang naging conversion rate sa nagpadala ng taga TC Nivero ay 1USD = 3.70SAR.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abu Bakr Espiritu<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ito naman ang ating accounting for tc nivero deployed workers na dalawa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samantala ang ibang  (5) workers na sina Angel John Rivera Maglalang, James Bautista Tallada, Arnold Dial, Jomer Agad at Lino bautista maniago Jr  ay pinili na ang pamilya nila sa Pilipinas ang tumanggap ng kanilang mga subsistence allowance.  Nakuha nila ang buong subsistence allowance noong Lunes (October 10, 2016) sa POEA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At si Rosalito Balangon ay hindi na first contract kaya hindi sya covered ng compulsory insurance ng RA10022 kung saan napaloob ang karapatan ng OFW para sa subsistence allowance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No problem Ka Joseph. i will check on discrepancy. By the way, the relatives of three OFWs also got their allowance. The other family did not come. As for Maniago I will check tomorrow if sent na. I am just in Nueva Viscaya for an event since Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Ka Joseph,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The money was sent last week. Anyway, I am attaching the transaction receipt and number. Mr. Redentor will get it straight from Western Union. WU allowed the money ti be sent since it will only be for five of the truck drivers. I am also attaching the email from pioneer for your reference. Please make the workers sign across their names and send back to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ad for the others whose families will receive the allowance here, we will let you know if they got the money already. We will wait for them at POEA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The rep of Pioneer called me up to tell that their office in Saudi will make the pay out to the workers. San po kaya natin pwede papuntahin representative nila to make the payment for the workers they have covered? Please give them daw a day or two notice to make the payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Maraming salamat naman at tumugon si Labatt Jun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Pero i will still send this documents dahil naipangako ko at para dagdag katibayan na rin . nasa ba ba po ang mga documents na patunay. isinama ko na rin ang grievance ng mga workers re polo’s service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      re. sending the allowance po. pwede  pong ipadala thru western union or moneygram at polo ang magreceive. or pwede rin sa mga kasamahan namin sa jeddah if walang vali na iqama ang mga workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      by the way po. i just learned that one of the 11 workers ay hindi first contract kaya di pala sya entitled for the subsistence allowance. compulsory insurance. ang name ng worker is rosalito balangon<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I will forward the same to Pioneer and request immediate release of the subsistence allowance. What is the best option to send it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Do the workers have any document in their possession to show proof that they filed a case? If yes, is it possible for to send it to me so I could endorse to Pioneer Insurance to facilitate payment of subsistence allowance? Thanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
