SAUDIZATION for the Saudis, Filipinozation for the Filipinos

unemployed filipinosThe Kingdom of Saudi Arabia strengthens its drive to eliminate the problem of unemployment all over the country.  Jobs are being offered by the companies in order to comply with the requirements of Saudization. 
 
In short, Nitaqat, by all means, is in effect.  And it is very beneficial for the young Saudis who are looking for a job.  Long live for the King of Saudi Arabia, for he takes immediate action for the needs of his people.
 
Meanwhile, in the Republic of the Philippines, there is an increasing rate of unemployment.  And the government does not take necessary measure to decelerate joblessness.  The obvious proof is that, instead of working in their country the Filipinos seek job around the globe.   
 
In Saudi Arabia alone, there are approximately 1,800,000[1]  Overseas Filipino Workers or OFWs.  And there are still more lots of jobs for the Filipinos available in the labor market.  The Filipinos are sacrificing a lot just to earn a living by going abroad.  They also lessen the numbers of unemployed Filipinos by leaving their families in exchange of the pennies that they will receive from their companies. 
 
As the saying goes, “Homesick versus dollars”.
 
While OFWs are contributing a lot to lessen unemployment by going abroad, the Philippine government is not taking strong measures that would help the Filipinos who are still there in the Philippines to get a job.  There are lots of newly graduates but they simply join to the ranks of million jobless. 
 
Look at Saudi Arabia, there is problem of unemployment, but it addresses it through Saudization.
 
However, to take a little comparison between the Saudi government and the Republic of the Philippines, it is very obvious that they are very different with one another. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is rich but the Philippines is poor. 
 
The Saudi is strict and strong while the Philippines is lenient and corrupt.  Therefore, there is no point of comparison for Saudi, because its riches are incomparable to the Philippines. 
 
In Saudi, thieves, cheaters, and criminals are sentenced to jail or sometimes even to death.  In the Philippines, the thieves, cheaters, and criminals are sent to Malacañang and other government offices.
 
To continue further, what is the same with Saudi Arabia and the Philippines is the same problem of unemployment.  The Saudi Arabia provides jobs for the jobless.  The Philippines distributes conditional cash transfer or CCT.  The former gives long life solution while the latter provides temporary solution.
 
The Saudi government assures their citizens through additional benefits such as free food, accommodations, transportations, medical insurance and additional allowances.  The Philippines, on the other hand, deducts huge amount of taxes from its citizens. 
 
And lastly, the Saudi assures a long tenure of employment, while the workers in the Philippines will be laid off after six months.  And this is how the two countries treat their citizens, Saudization for the Saudis and Filipinozation for the Filipinos.
