The deadline for Filipino workers in Saudi to legalize their status is in two weeks, but the Philippines has yet to repatriate 5,000 Filipinos. The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs says the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh and the Consulate General in Jeddah repatriated 4,003 Filipino workers from Saudi. The number of repatriates is only around 44% of the 9,000 Filipinos in Saudi who originally said they want repatriation. DFA spokesman Raul Hernandez says 1,761 Filipinos are waiting for immigration clearance in Saudi. Saudi extended the deadline to November 3 from the original July 3. Violators face up to two years in prison and fines of at least 100,000 riyal or $27,000.
