Several social media posts said that some Filipinos got arrested in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as they joined a Halloween party. Now, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) are verifying these claims.

According to Elmer Cato, Foreign Affairs Assistant Secretary, they already saw the viral social media posts but they are still waiting for the official report from the embassy in Riyadh.

In the said post, 19 Filipino women and 5 men from another nationality were arrested after they organized this “forbidden” party in the oil-rich country.

As of the moment, Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III can confirm that there are indeed 17 Overseas Filipino Workers who got arrested in Saudi.

However, according to Bello, these OFWs merely attended the party and not the organizers unlike the once reported on the viral Facebook post.

Filipino officials are already acting up in the situation, as instructed by Secretary Bello.

Filipinos, especially in Middle East countries, should avoid getting involved in parties like this because it is considered illegal in these countries.

Instead of partying, OFWs in these countries can just pray for the souls of their deceased family members. This is a much solemn thing to do and no violation will be implicated on you.
