Expatriates and the government

There are many mysterious death to our OFW or expatriates around the world but our government did nothing to investigate these cases. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said that she cares about OFW but she is deaf to these less fortunate individuals who earned money working abroad doing menial job because the Philippines can not give it citizen a good livelihood or job. According to Migrante there 23 mysterious death cases under Arroyo government which until now is not solve. If the government care about OFW then they should at least solve these cases because it is their responsibility and duty to do so besides it is OFW who poured Dollars to our government. The government is a failure to depend its citizen. Anyway the Philippines government is a failure to any areas like economy, sports, government and etc.

Yesterday I read about a Domestic Filipina who died in Riyadh and according to her relatives she suffered a lot of bruises and stab but according to DFA or Department of Foreign affairs she committed suicide. The Saudi authority said that she died in hospital due to ulcer. The kin asked for the body to be exhumed because they suspected the mysterious death of Eugenia Baja.

This is a warning to any domestic helper not to go abroad especially if your destination is Middle East. Domestic job is dangerous because you have to work alone and there is a big chance of abuse. You are prone to abuse. If you are working as domestic and you are abused then you must report this to our embassy or authority at once. Being an expatriate or expatriates is not easy, you will feel homesick, away from your loved ones, sometimes this will result to family problem.
