The Riyadh Municipality has advised the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in the Saudi capital to move its premises to a commercial area.
According to a statement by the Philippine Embassy, POLO has been advised to transfer to a commercial area where it could serve more Filipinos, as it was previously located in Um Al-Hamam.
A source at POLO, which is an agency of the Philippine Embassy, said it will remain open on Monday, but would be closed once power has been cut to the office.
The source said that a resident of the area where the POLO headquarters is currently located had complained to the municipality about disruptions caused by the office in the area. “The resident complained about the numerous Filipino workers going to the POLO for assistance,” the source told Arab News.
Those in need of POLO services may call or send text messages to Labor Attache Resty SM Dela Fuente (055 169 9548), Assistant Labor Attache Domeng Salanga (055 293 52 60), Assistant Labor Attache Firma Bantilan (053 391 3218), or Welfare Officers Pepe Capa (053 293 5260), Bernie Toriano (053 803 6674), Orland Nadora (053 258 8903) and Ruth Daza (Female cases) 054 296 0485.
Previously, POLO was situated inside the Diplomatic Quarter.
