The Philippine Consul General in Jeddah has noted an increase of cases of homosexuality, gambling and selling of alcoholic beverages in Saudi Arabia involving overseas Filipino workers.

In view of this, all entities conducting Pre-Departure Orientation Seminars (PDOS) should fully emphasize the prohibition of these activities to reinforce measures preventing Filipino migrant workers from indulging in such activities. Offenders shall face criminal charges and imprisonment in the said kingdom.

For the information and dissemination of all concerned.
