John Monterona, Migrante Middle East coordinator said, “The Aquino government should prepare for the influx of jobless OFWs by developing the economy through genuine agrarian reform program and nationalization of basic industries and get away from reliance to multinationals and transnational corporations.”

The Labor chief also said that OFWs working in government agencies in Saudi Arabia may be the first ones to be hit by Saudization. It includes OFWs working in government hospitals in KSA.
