UAE employer faces trial for beating up Pinay maids - report

An employer in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates is facing trial for allegedly beating up his two Filipino maids, and failing to pay their salaries.

Online news site Khaleej Times on Saturday reported that the Philippine consulate general had requested the Fujairah ruler to expedite the investigation and hearing of the cases of the two Filipinos.

Fujairah, a largely mountainous area, is one of the seven emirates in the Middle Eastern federation of the UAE in the southeastern part of the Arabian Peninsula.

Vice Consul Edwin Mendoza identified the two maids as “AT", 27; and “RL", 21. The two accused “HM", an Emirati, his Egyptian wife, their daughter, and her children of beating and maltreating them at the slightest mistake.

The two also accused “HM" of not paying their salary for 11 months and 16 months, respectively.

Citing police records, he said “AT" ran away on April 22 from her employer's house after being severely beaten.

"AT" sought help from a Filipino community in Fujairah. The report said “AT," who bore “countless bruises on her face," was taken to a hospital.

Meanwhile, a team from the UAE’s Criminal Investigation Department and representatives of the Filipino community went to “HM"'s house to rescue “RL." The entire family was detained for one day.

On April 27, the Philippine Consulate-General sent a diplomatic request to the Fujairah ruler for assistance in expediting the investigation and the hearing of the case.

Mendoza said that during the first court hearing on Monday, “HM" denied the charges, and reportedly said that “AT" and “RL" had a heated argument and beat up each other. - GMANews.TV

PCG: China’s bullying in West Philippine Sea undermines international law --- Ghio Ong - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — Letting China sustain its aggression in the West Philippine Sea would make other countries doubt the strength of international law currently being asserted by the Philippines, Commodore Jay Tarriela of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. “Allowing China to blatantly disregard the established rules-based order threatens the very foundation that we all depend on,” he wrote in a post on X last Tuesday. He added, “If we permit this, countries worldwide may forget why this order was created in the first place. Nations could begin to doubt the significance of adhering to international law if powerful bullies can easily violate it.” Tarriela also said defiance of other countries to a rules-based order would result in the prevalence of cruelty. He wrote, “This could lead us back to a time when might makes right, undermining the global structures that keep human greed, savagery and barbarism in check. Such a scenario would not only invite challenges from aggressive ...

Latest monitoring by the Philippine Navy showed armed ships of the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) maintaining a menacing presence around the grounded BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal, Panatag Shoal and Escoda Shoal. According to the Philippine Navy, there are 17 Chinese military vessels and 28 China Coast Guard (CCG) boats spotted inside the country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) between Sept. 23 and 30, or one vessel more than in the previous week Sept.17-23.

Social media seen as cause of rising intermarriages --- Helen Flores - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) sees social media as the main reason for the rising number of Filipinos marrying or becoming partners of foreign nationals. In 2022, the CFO recorded 6,854 marriages or partnerships with foreign nationals, a 40.1 percent increase from the 4,891 “intermarriages” recorded in 2021. “First of all, what we see in the increase in the marriage rate of Filipinos or Filipinos with foreign partners is because of social media, (that) is number one; matchings; letters, introduction of their friends,” CFO chairperson Romulo Arugay said at the Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon public briefing yesterday. Arugay said the agency has been registering a high number of intermarriages since 2007, but the figures went down during the COVID-19 pandemic. From over 6,500 Filipinos who married foreign nationals, only 600 are men, he said. Most of them are married to Americans, Japanese, Germans, Canadians and Australians, Arugay said. Arugay warned Fi...
