Abuse of OFWs

Social and political criticisms

I was with an ex OFW and he laments how many of our countrymen are abused fooled by Middle East citizens.  He was hired and lured from his flourishing business of upholstery by an employer who holds an important position in the government of their country.  He was not paid but made to work.  When he filed a labor case vs the employer in the PHL consulate, he was harassed and jailed by the police.  But brave as he was, he held on the papers of his case to the police.  He was cleared later and allowed to leave.

But the meek ones simply suffer in silence or languish in their jails.

Many more DH are repeatedly raped and abused.

We should really take care of these countrymen.
