The Philippine government is working to find temporary jobs in Saudi Arabia for overseas Filipino workers fleeing the violence in Sudan, Department of Migrant Workers Secretary Susan Ople has said.. "We are trying to explore the possibility that those who wished to be hired, instead of coming home kasi naiintindihan naman natin 'yung iba ayaw umuwi kasi iniisip nila wala din naman kaming trabaho doon, might as well stay," Ople said.

"Then tingnan natin kung baka humupa 'yung sitwasyon ano, but we're exploring the possibility of temporary jobs for them in Saudi Arabia. We are working this out and we will have more concrete information once we work this out," Ople added. She said 725 Filipinos contacted the Philippine Embassy to seek assistance, and with that number, 327 sought repatriation.
"To quote the President, kung marunong mag-Tagalog, marunong mag-Bisaya, marunong mag-Ilokano, marunong ng iba't-ibang dialect sa atin, Pinoy 'yan, we will help," she added.
