Isa lang iyan sa napakaraming pagdurusa ng ating mga kababayan sa Dubai; mga taong nagtitiis na mapalayo sa kanilang mga mahal sa buhay may maibigay lang sa kanila. Ang masaklap ay kapag wala nang maibigay sa pamilya ay nawawalan na sila ng halaga sa mga ito.

ZAMBOANGA – A family member of a Filipino migrant worker has sought the help of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) to rescue a kin who was allegedly abused by her employer in Dubai.
Nina, from Sitio Balibag, Barangay Nanan Payao municipality in Zamboanga Sibugay, said her sister was allegedly sexually and physically abused by her employer sometime this month.
Nina received a call from her sister after she escaped from her employer’s house. The OFW initially sought the help of the Philippine post in Dubai but was allegedly denied of any assistance.
OWWA Regional Director Angie Angella promised to coordinate with their officer in Dubai to immediately conduct rescue operations.
According to Angella, normal procedures would require a negotiation between OWWA and the complainant's employer.
Meanwhile, Angella reported the repatriation of another OFW from Jordan. The OFW, whom Angella declined to name, is a native of Lamitan, Basilan.
She said the OFW came home mentally disturbed and seemed to have suffered from work stress as she also worked for her employer’s extended family.
Kung Sa Pilipinas Inaabuso Ang Alila, Sa Dubai Pa?
Hindi makabagong bayani ang mga iyan, sila ang mga MAKABAGONG ALIPIN ng mundo! Ilang beses na bang nangyari yan mula pa nung mabitay si Flor Contemplacion? Ngayon, kung magsasalita ka at sasabihin mo kung sino ang dapat sisihin sa kanilang kapalaran, kaiinisan ka pa.
