OLAN DEEMS

<div style="text-align: justify;">[An Open Appeal to Samsung C&T Project Management & Administration]</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><center><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yEjvWoWPnnk" width="560"></iframe></center></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For one decade <i>(10 years)</i>, I've been working with Samsung (<i>Samsung E&C and Samsung C&T</i>). I am very thankful that Samsung gave me those years of experience, which formed who I am today. A big part of my knowledge and skills today are absolutely owed to Samsung.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When I was promoted to Manager at Samsung five years ago, the Commercial Manager who evaluated my performance gave me his unforgettable comment, and I quote, "Olan has been working in Samsung for more than six years in total.<i> He knows Samsung and Korean cultures well, as well as the workplace environment. He was officially promoted to the managerial position last year. I believe he can be a bridge to connect Samsung and global staff effectively.</i>"- end of quote.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><span style="text-align: justify;">I am very familiar with the working culture of Samsung, and I can say that my stay at Samsung was so great, except when I was transferred to one of its projects, the Naama Combined-Cycle Power Plant Project in Algeria (Algerie Naama CCPP Project). I can tell (convey) my story of disappointments to the administration of this project, but it is not my story that matters in this crisis, where there is a global pandemic (COVID-19). But it is the story of Filipinos I can relate to regarding their sufferings during this period.</span></div><div><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="text-align: justify;">I am deeply saddened watching the appeal through <a href="https://youtu.be/yEjvWoWPnnk" target="_blank">videos</a> of my former Filipino co-workers in this Samsung Project who are desperately begging for help of repatriation from President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, Raffy Tulfo in Action, Senator Bong Go, Senator Manny Pacquiao, POEA, OWWA, etc. I am with them, calling for support from the Government of the Philippines.</span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On the other hand, I am so disappointed because I know Samsung as a Pro-People! Yet, its name is being stained by this project's administration, ruining Samsung's reputation.  The Naama Admin Officers and Staff are inhumane - without logic, without heart! I am not defending Samsung; I am no longer an employee of Samsung, but I believe this is an exceptional case.  </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I can not just be silent on this matter. Those Filipinos appealing for help are my friends, too! I know them, and they knew me. I hope that this simple way of support may give them the strength to continue their fight. I have failed to fight for my rights before because I was alone. However, in this fight between my fellow Filipinos and my former co-workers, I am with them in voice and in prayer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have never been an employee of GS E&C (GS Engineering & Construction). Still, knowing the overwhelming support of this Korean Company to those of their Filipino Employees/Workers in Saudi Arabia during this time of crisis (<a href="http://forum.olandeems.com/Covid-19-Pandemic-Novel-Coronavirus-td115.html" target="_blank">COVID-19 Pandemic</a>), I pity my former co-workers who are being threatened and deprived of their rights. I can't simply sit here and see them fail - being forced to work, afraid to continue their fights, and leaving no choice but to bow down... I am giving my salute to the administration of GS E&C Rabigh, Saudi Arabia, which carries the values and culture of its company.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To the Project Director, Site Manager, and my former teammates in the Project Control Department of the Naama CCPP Project and to the Samsung HQ in either Algiers or Seoul, South Korea, as you watch this <a href="https://youtu.be/yEjvWoWPnnk" target="_blank">video</a>, I am appealing to all of you to please re-think your position, please put an end to the suffering of my Kababayan (fellow Filipinos). Please take care of them while they're on the job site. Please consider that they have contributed to the progress or success of the project. I believe you have submitted or will be submitting Force Majeure Claims due to this Pandemic from your Client (Employer); why do you need to deduct from their salary a meal amount of $19 per day for just more than 25 Filipinos who simply wish and have chosen to keep themselves safe against COVID-19. Do not exploit the weakness of my countrymen struggling to defend themselves. If GS E&C can support the welfare of their 700+ Filipino Employees/Workers who are stranded in Saudi Arabia, why can't you do the same for the sake of humanity?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kindly watch this entire <a href="https://youtu.be/yEjvWoWPnnk" target="_blank">video</a>, and in the end, please be humane and have a heart! I have nothing against Samsung. I just want your Admin in Naama Project to correct its mistake and rebuild Samsung's reputation as a dignified, top-notch International Korean Company. Please embody the real Samsung Values and Culture! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My Dearest Samsung! Prove to the world that people are your first priority and part of a Samsung Family, and provide them (my Kababayans/Global Staff) the benefits they deserve or are entitled to without challenging their rights. If you always stand for excellence, start to change by listening to those small voices to keep your integrity in the spirit of CO-PROSPERITY with heart.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wouldn't it be nicer if the employees' appeals were the same as the appeals of the GS E&C Employees/Workers who, at the same time, were pleased to announce to the Philippine government that they were being cared for by their Employer?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Do not allow your Employees/Workers whom you care (?) to even lead to this public plea! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Samsung C&T Filipino Workers Appealing for Help from the Philippine Government:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjzRnXoZd9lcQs6jzHjcwDId1PkIF-FL1unpDpKZPIiuiA-aA9hDw7pjZ1XIJJ1kBDxZJP7PdJkt93L69AEkyTJScgpiQHinCWXGv-h2tz3Uf1RnLHSWzi1IAioOX0Vh3p0NAlZxz9puY/s725/SamsungC%2526T.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="725" data-original-width="513" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjzRnXoZd9lcQs6jzHjcwDId1PkIF-FL1unpDpKZPIiuiA-aA9hDw7pjZ1XIJJ1kBDxZJP7PdJkt93L69AEkyTJScgpiQHinCWXGv-h2tz3Uf1RnLHSWzi1IAioOX0Vh3p0NAlZxz9puY/w452-h640/SamsungC%2526T.jpg" width="452" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">     </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><font color="#9c27b0" size="1">::Translation of their Appeal:: </font></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font color="#9c27b0"><font size="1">Good Day to All, We are asking for help from our government- POEA, OWWA, Senators, and our beloved President Rodrigo Duterte, to Mr. Raffy Tulfo, Sen.

We are calling for help to go home to the Philippines as soon as possible. Almost all of us have ended our employment contract. It's more than  2 months now that we have been waiting for our return to our homeland due to the lockdown here in Algeria. Our health is threatened by COVID here. It is difficult here because there is no Philippine Embassy, and the number of affected people has reached 8,306 in the entire country (Algeria).  But here in our respective district (area), 52 cases have already been reached. That danger here is when they are admitting local people from the </font><span style="font-size: x-small;">outside, so we are appealing to the public (convey our message to the respective agencies) to grant our request for us to be able to return home to the Philippines as soon as possible. </span></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="1"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font size="1">And we are thankful and hoping for immediate action for our appeal and wishes because our families worry so much about us.

(we just want to inform you that we are here, Filipinos, more/less 700 in all that are stranded because, since last month, our work has been completed... Right fellows (comrades)?  Yes! Right!</font></div><div><font color="#9c27b0"><br /></font></div><div><div><font color="#9c27b0">One thing we can say that we are so grateful for is that our company has not abandoned us. Right Fellows (comrades)? Yes, Right! Why? first our Food, our accommodation, in short, they have given us, almost all of us, our what we called "benefits" (even those end of service benefits) Right Fellows (comrades)? Yes, Right!</font></div><div><font color="#9c27b0"><br /></font></div><div><div><font color="#9c27b0">While others (or those who have not received it yet) are in process (ongoing). We hope we can return to the Philippines because, for God's mercy, we are still COVID-free. Right, Fellows (comrades)? Yes, that's right! We are just afraid that we might have to  (hoping not!) get COVID here.</font></div><div><font color="#9c27b0"><br /></font></div><div><div><font color="#9c27b0">We've been waiting for 35 days since we have no work. So, our beloved President, we hope our plea reaches you that we are here...  Good Evening or Good Day to all who watch our videos, we just want to inform to the government of the Philippines (or directly addressed to President Duterte) would reach him. </font></div></div><div><font color="#9c27b0"><br /></font></div><div><div><font color="#9c27b0">Our company is willing to support us in our return to our homeland. Actually, on May 16, they issued tickets to 285 people, but they were canceled because suddenly, those flights were not given a landing clearance in the Philippines. Hopefully, our company or we will be given support by the government to speed up our return (especially for the landing clearance). So we are calling the attention of our  General Consulate in Jeddah, POEA, OWWA, and also to the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh or whoever in the government can help us...Because we personally believed that GS had done everything to their best so that we could go home. However, since a process is being followed, or they called it Force Majeure, an unforeseen situation (not expected), that's why there's this problem, right? Yes! So, for us, what we need, beloved President, is help us so that we can return home. Anyway, GS has open hands to help us and bought tickets for all of us. We hope we will be given landing clearance by CAAP (or Saudia Airlines). We have done this but do not have complaints about our company, the Saudi government, or the Philippine government. We just want that to speed up the process so we can all go home. Right, Fellows (comrades)? Yes, that's right! So, this is just our concern, beloved President or whoever in the government can help us. Our families in the Philippines are worrying so much about us now. We are also worried that someone may get sick (COVID). Again, we are thankful that our company did not abandon us even though the work has been completed for a long time, right? Yes! So we hope that our government will hear us</font></div><div><font color="#9c27b0">so that we can go home soonest.</font></div><div><br /></div></div></div></div><div><br /></div></font></span></div><div><b>:: ACTUAL SOURCES ::</b><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9DR3uqy4ny186kcSNCA-phvlCja3EuI5Ggh5dlrcYrPttWNb3swv4m4gIkWuOJPBb6dmRBdfBHcrnMvJ1TCjHN2n5DriqMlUW7wr9ASiF5DJstpD5xNE1MJ9zUTNnObfn1qhRsf9NBk0/s985/Samsung+Response+Letter_01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Philippine Embassy in Libya" border="0" data-original-height="784" data-original-width="985" height="510" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9DR3uqy4ny186kcSNCA-phvlCja3EuI5Ggh5dlrcYrPttWNb3swv4m4gIkWuOJPBb6dmRBdfBHcrnMvJ1TCjHN2n5DriqMlUW7wr9ASiF5DJstpD5xNE1MJ9zUTNnObfn1qhRsf9NBk0/w640-h510/Samsung+Response+Letter_01.jpg" title="Philippine Embassy in Libya" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU_7D7XkaCFOmWexRsCY_K72BYdXVsdvHWfSXWCELo3GR-uyIYxlliwGRxXV17f-7eDGZZGuYNJYy4GuoMTWwdP-DikR0C6aXTW7V7xcFoe4oYEuU8KMjX4jb1oOz__0LIEH80TLkVD48/s980/Samsung+Response+Letter_02.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="794" data-original-width="980" height="518" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU_7D7XkaCFOmWexRsCY_K72BYdXVsdvHWfSXWCELo3GR-uyIYxlliwGRxXV17f-7eDGZZGuYNJYy4GuoMTWwdP-DikR0C6aXTW7V7xcFoe4oYEuU8KMjX4jb1oOz__0LIEH80TLkVD48/w640-h518/Samsung+Response+Letter_02.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>As presented to you, my Dear Samsung.
