OFW sa KSA na hinalay umano ng manugang ng amo, naglaslas ng pulso para makatakas


 Hulyo 6, 2018 5:17pm GMT+08:00
Walang ibang naisip na paraan ang isang babaeng OFW sa Jeddah, Saudi Arabia kung hindi ang saktan ang sarili para makaalis sa bahay ng kaniyang amo. Ang biktima, hinalay umano ng kaanak ng kaniyang amo.
"Hindi ko na makayanan, kung anu-ano na ang naiisip ko. Gustong-gusto ko nang makatakas sa bahay na 'yon. Ang tanging paraan lang para makaalis sa bahay na 'yun ay maglaslas ako," sabi sa GMA News ng OFW na itinago sa pangalang "Jinky."
Ayon kay Jinky na nasa pangangalaga na ng awtoridad ng Pilipinas, isinumbong niya sa kaniyang amo ang ginawang panghahalay sa kaniya ng  manugang nitong lalaki pero hindi siya pinapaniwalaan.
Nakiusap umano siya sa kaniyang amo na ibalik na lang siya sa kaniyang agency pero tumanggi ang amo at iginiit na dapat daw muna siyang magbayad ng 40,000 SAR.
Hindi umano siya makatakas dahil ikinakandado ang pinto ng bahay, sabi pa ni Jinky, na apat na buwan pa lang nagtatrabaho sa Saudi Arabia.
Nang hindi pa rin umano pinansin ng kaniyang amo ang ginawa niyang pagpapakagutom o "hunger strike," nagpasya na siyang maglaslas ng pulso.
Dahil dito, dinala siya ng kaniyang amo sa pulisya dahil ipinagbabawal sa naturang bansa ang pagpapatiwakal.
"Akala ko kung saan ako dadalhin. Ang sabi ng amo ko magbabakasyon lang ako hindi ko alam na sa kulungan na pala ako dadalhin. Nabanggit ko po sa amo ko na nagahasa ako pero ayaw niya maniwala sa akin," kuwento pa ni Jinky.
Ayon kay Consul General Edgar Badajos, labag sa batas at may kaukulang parusa ang tangkang pagpapakamatay sa Saudi Arabia.
"Pagkakulong [ang parusa]. Hindi naman masyadong mabigat, mga one year, and hindi rin natin sigurado kung may kasama na palo dahil i-a-assess pa ito ng korte. Pero alam namin 'yung iba ay may lashes," paliwanag niya.
Matapos ang negosasyon, pumayag ang Saudi police na ipagkatiwala sa mga pamamahala ng Pilipinas si Jinky.
Hindi na umano magsasampa ng reklamo si Jinky sa nangyari sa kaniya dahil ang tanging hangad niya ay makauwi na lamang sa bansa.
Nakatakda na umanong pabalikin sa bansa ang OFW sa susunod na linggo, ayon kay Badajos. -- Ronaldo Concha/FRJ, GMA News

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 ...

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...
