Discover Jeddah : Work Hard Pay Less to Nothing

Most individuals are making ventures to other places for seeking a greener pasture, for good life. Many found their destiny in other areas, and found it to  be useful  and so much helpful and fruitful.

In the Middle East, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia is one of the places that many people dreaming to be working in.While  many are enjoying the privilege and the pleasure of the place  many are also suffering.

I met Vic, an engineer in a construction firm in Jeddah, good to know that his company in his labor

helped him a lot and he was able to build a decent home and still have an apartment for lease in their country in the Philippines.

Ahmad, a Draftsman, I am pleased to know that he was the one who provided the needs and expenses of his sister's wedding in India through his effort and because of the good compensations he received in his company.

Both Vic and Mohammed are some  of the many expatriates enjoying the benefits and glory  on their their company in Jeddah Saudi Arabia.

But what if not all employees experience as Vic and Ahmad, or what if the other employers are doing in an opposite that Vic and Mohammad company? What might be the outcome of their lives in their adventure abroad.


Ashraf aslo discovered Jeddah, work as a driver in the area, hired middle of 2011, but so sad to know that by the first year of 2012, his loved ones went and made complain at the agency who processed Ashraf's documents in India, by the time they were hired until 2012 the family received no support from Ashraf, sadly, Ashraf and the whole batch traveled with him did not receive any wage even up to 2012. They are only receiving their food allowance 150.00 - 200.00 Saudi Riyals.


Ashraf is just one of too many individuals who tried to find greener pastures abroad but experience so bad. Sad part is, many of these expatriates are having family that fully relying on them. Their family that fully dependent on their hard-earned cents.

Just a reminder to those who are seeking for a better life in the other places, not only in Jeddah, but all over the world, make sure and make sort of investigations that will assure the fulfillment of your  dreams. Working abroad should be a way to achieve our dreams, not a devastation and a nightmare.

This is one another great thing that we have to discover in Jeddah today.

Discover Jeddah : Not Too Much Fun In The Philippines

While the Philippine Government is actively promoting Philippines to be one of the most beautiful places  to visit through its campaign with slogan "It's  More Fun  In The Philippines",  there are still few things that hinders the foreign friends to visit the Philippines.  

No doubt, Philippines is a beautiful place, but this beautiful  place sometimes being compared to a beautiful flame that moth love to  be  with. During the Chinese New Year Celebration which was held on January 23, 2012, some  Chinese nationals also celebrated here in  Jeddah KSA. And many of the Chinese were glad that Philippines recognized the date and declared it to be Holiday, and wishes some places to  do the same.

In the midst of Chinese celebration in the Philippines, in the place so called China Town, thieves took the season as an advantage for them for there are many foreigners on that area. Some Belgians lost some things that are supposedly to  be used in "Promoting Beautiful Philippines".  

CCTV caught the said incident that partially solved the problem. If only there was  assigned to monitor the video, perhaps, there and then, the problem would not occur.

This event is only one of the few things that hinder  some of the people here at Jeddah, and also in other places to visit Philippine.

Lately Two European Nationals were  kidnapped in the Mindanao Area, and are  for  ransom, Korean Nationals were   kidnapped and one  of them died because  of hunger, these acts made by these particular Filipino people in Mindanao seems  to  be an act of animals.


Lately, Palawan underground  water  river was officially announced to  be one of the 7 New Wonders of the World, it is  a great honor for the Filipinos,  however, many people here in Jeddah,  in different nationalities still  in doubt of visiting that area even though it is very far from Mindanao.

In fact,  when people here talk about Philippines specially Mindanao, Abu Sayyaf Group is so popular, because of its evil acts.


Filipino workers here  in Jeddah, and anywhere in the world are in no doubt to be very good and performing very well,   but  this does  not guarantee that when  people visit Philippines, same good tings and experience they will be having.

It is LESS more Fun  in the Philippines.
