Today 23 July 2011, Former PGMA spokesperson and now PDI columnist sent me an inquiry on Saudization. Here's his letter. My answer was on the next blog posting:

Dear Mr. Braggito,
I'm a columnist at the Philippine Daily Inquirer, and I chanced upon your letter to the Manila Times online clarifying why Saudi Arabia has started restricting the entry of Filipino workers (i.e.., that this had nothing to do with the Saudization program, nor Nitaqat).
I'd appreciate your views:
1. How did this stand-off (Phil requiring $400 wage, while Saudi $200) come about? Did Phil authorities decide to implement suddenly some regulation? I suppose this wage level was not only required of the Philippines. Have Phil authorities start to inform other countries to tell them this is the policy?
2. Do you think it's not right for Ph to require such level of wages?
3. What will be the impact on deployments of Filipinos in Saudi?
I'd appreciate your comments.
Thanks
Rigoberto Tiglao

4. Is a way out of this stand-off in the offing or impossible at this point.
I'd appreciate your comments.
