Thank you for your request dated May 24, 2023 07:36:48 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch assistance to get salary which is delayed for 2 months.

Mr. Mendoza we hope that you and our kababayans are in a better position.

Foremost, may I correctly inform you that the eFOI portal is not an avenue to share private information.  Therefore, what can be done is to provide you with procedures to follow.

Your problem must be reported to the Migrant Welfare Office (formerly POLO) at the Philippine Embassy at Riyadh, KSA.  Use the Emails: mwo_riyadh@dmw.gov.ph or riyadh@owwa.gov.ph. Then, forward a copy to owwacares@owwa.gov.ph.

You may also call the OWWA hotline in the Philippines at 1348 or at Riyadh (00966) 502850944 and 570042744.

Please do not do anything that will result to the violation of immigration and labor laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.  Consult and inform the Philippine Embassy and seek assistance from the Migrant Workers Office (formerly POLO) before leaving your employer.
 
If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing the OWWA- FOI Decision Makers at email: foi_dm@owwa.gov.ph.
