Published  June 25, 2018 10:14am  Another Filipina domestic helper in Saudi Arabia who is allegedly being maltreated by her employer is seeking help. "Para niyo na pong awa, gusto ko na pong umuwi," said Virginia Fabian in a video as shown on Unang Balita on Monday. "Ang sakit na po ng tiyan ko. Di po ako makapagtrabaho dito sa Riyadh. Pinapagalitan po ako ng amo ko. Sinisigawan ako." According to Fabian's husband in the Philippines, her employer would hit and scold her every time she complained of stomachache. He said the employer accused Virginia of faking her condition.

Virginia has been working in Saudi Arabia for only a week. The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration and the Overseas Workers Welfare Adm...

Published  June 22, 2018 1:52pm  North and South Korea on Friday held Red Cross talks to discuss resuming reunions for families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War, the latest step in the diplomatic thaw on the peninsula. Millions of people were separated during the conflict that sealed the division between the two Koreas nearly 70 years ago. Most died without having a chance to see or hear from their relatives on the other side of the border, across which all civilian communication is banned. The resumption of the family reunions -- last held in 2015 -- was one of the agreements reached between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and the South's president Moon Jae-in at their landmark summit in April. Only about 57,000 people registered with the South Korean Red Cross to meet their separated relatives remain alive, most of them aged over 70. Even if reunions are arranged, only 100 participants from each side will be selected. For the lucky few ...
