The migrant rights group Migrante-Middle East (M-ME) has urged the Philippine government to initiate a review of the bilateral agreement on domestic workers that it signed with Saudi Arabia amid surging reports of violations and abuses involving Filipi** domestic workers. In May 2013, the group an**unced that the Philippines and Saudi Arabia had finally signed an agreement after a hiring ban that lasted approximately one year due to disagreement regarding the wages, benefits, and issues related to abuses and maltreatment of workers. The main provisions of the agreement stipulate that a Filipi** domestic worker will receive a minimum monthly salary of SR1,500, in their own bank accounts, weekly rest days and daily rest periods, paid vacation leave, **n-withholding of passports and work permits, free communication and humane treatment, said John Leonard Monterona, the M-ME regional coordinator.
