Overseas Filipino Workers Rights

Correct me here if I am really wrong. Ating kung abasa kanita na more than one-quarter of Saudi Arabia's foreign work force is non-Muslim: Indian Hindus, Buddhists from Thailand and Nepal, and Christians from countries such as India, the Philippines and Eritrea. At pinakamarakal la ata deng Inidan. And it is about $3,000, equivalent to many workers' annual wage -- must be paid by Saudi employers, some of whom try to shirk the responsibility. At sabi da it is common kareng immigrant remains to be held in Said Arabia for as long as six months while the government processes the exit visa on the dead worker's passport, and the employers come up with the money.

Saudi Arabia a country that have their own laws, majority of it approved by the citizens of that country. And Philippines or other countries have a relative freedom of religion and that doesn't mean there is a global rights to such freedom. Each and every one of us must obey the laws of a country that we visit. Nothing wrong with disagreeing with a country's laws, but if you value your own life and freedom, behave when in that country or don't go there. At eku naman sasabyan na dapat ela munta karin deng kapwa tamu.

Balu ku ating organization or group (Government) that help Overseas Filipino Workers in this kind of predicament. And "We Should" let them do all the the bloated bureaucracy and red tapes.

Disobeying any nation's laws could have serious consequences. Pero I admire The Filipino people keng karelang tapang uli na ning kakalulwan tamu manyuluk tamu nung nokarin ya man itang ayapag tamung pamangan keng lamesa na ning kekatamung pamilya. At mas dakal la deng tatakut kareng kapwa tamu for what they did. Anya asabi ku mu naman Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW)are the unsung HERO of The Philippines... i'm so proud of them. While in many ways, the OFWs deserves the recognition yet, sometimes they feel betrayed lalu na ing makanyan malilyari ketang kaluguran nang Mhy. And Here they are the hardworking OFWs filipinos who work like slave we call them heroes because they are the bankrupt government. Pero pakiramdam tamu as an individual the government doesnt give a damn. The continued dollar remittances of OFWs and (68% of it from U.S.) Filipinos to their relatives in the country.

There are approximately 6.97 million Filipinos abroad. Of this total, 2.04 million are on overseas employment contracts. Over 2 million of these are landbased while the rest are seas-based. There are also 2.15 million Filipinos, or of Filipino lineage, who are permanently residing in various countries; about 1.88 million are undocumented. Whew! some statistics ha? don't worry too much on this.


The question now is, "do we have to feel betrayed" pag ating antiyan malilyare? Or do we have to hate the system?

The true enemy is poverty.
