Filipina workers in the Middle East are the most prone to danger and abuse. Oftentimes, we see Pinay workers asking for rescue from their employers through social media. They are treated badly and rudely despite President Rodrigo Duterte’s ban on sending workers in the Middle East once last year. Although lifted already, the event does not seem to become a threat for foreign employers to change how they badly treat their Pinay employees.
A Call For Rescue
Honeyjhon Bahian expressed her concern regarding a Pinay worker in Saudi Arabia. She posted the video of the abused helper who shares her horror story with her employer. Bahian pleads to OFWs to send help and rescue the poor Pinay worker.
"Guys nid ko po help nio..tulungan ntin si kabayan ..nag papatulong sya dto sa al khobar binubugbog po sya ng amo niang babae at lhat silang magpapamlya yung pagkaen nya parang pagkain ng aso tapos po konti lang yung oras ng tulog nya at ang kanyang trbho ay apat na bahay, tapos po ang knyang sahod na dalawang buwan hndi binigay at pag magssahod po sya ay kinakaltasan ng 50sr."
“Sir mam maawa na po kayo ..Wla dw po syang alam pr na po syang natrauma magugulatin at umiiyak na lng po.”
Maltreatment
The domestic helper was identified as Alira Dappang Unding. She was beaten and given improper treatment by her employers. She eats leftover food, sleeps on the floor, and only given 2 hours of rest each day. Apart from that, her mobile phone, documents, and pocket money were confiscated too. Worst, Unding’s employer refuses to provide her salary for four months.

A Relief
