Migrante scores Arroyo for neglecting jailed OFWs in Jeddah

Since 1st or 2nd week of February I heard this news of OFW 's that stranded in Jeddah, and yet still unresolved. What kind of our government doing their actions for the problem of our kababayan in Middle East? gosh...anu ba yan?

Story Details...
An alliance of organizations composed of overseas Filipino workers’ groups and their families on Wednesday called for the immediate repatriation of some 250 imprisoned OFWs Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

At the same time, Migrante International scored the Arroyo administration for its inaction.“It’s deplorable how the Arroyo administration allows the stranded OFWs to endure such inhumane conditions," Maita Santiago, Migrante International Secretary-General, said.

Santiago said these OFWs were forced to run away from abusive employers.

“But instead of receiving genuine assistance, they’ve been ‘criminalized.’ They face the possibility of being returned to their employers," Santiago said.

The 250 OFWs who were stranded in Jeddah landed in crowded deportation center after immigration raids, Mirgante said.

OFWs were also forced to “fight" for food and water. They also slept on cardboard boxes and many have fallen ill, Migrante said. Among the sick is “Baby Ryan," the one-year-old child of Sarah Manukat who suffered fever.

My Dream Car! (GMC Arcadia)

My boss purchased this car, and when he shown to me his new car...I don't say anything only "Oh God, what a nice car ang lupet!"

When I first time saw this car on TV, I wondering to myself...can I have like this car? But how? Just only in my dreams, this car cost more than US$30 thousand and my boss purchased for SAR 105,000. Oh, god! My boss lots of money his monthly income range in 40-60 thousand Saudi Riyals, compare to my salary in minimal amount.

Hmm..hoping, somebody read my blog and have a nice heart they want me my dream come true...he..he..I will appreciates a lot!

PINOY TV or TFC

PINOY TV or TFC? Who's the best?

If you are an OFW and you don't want to missed the latest news & entertainmnet in Philippines. Well, you had two option to choose which one in big network company in Philippines you wish to subcribes for watching your favorites Pinoy TV Programs.

For me, this is a great helps to all Filipino's citizen living outside the country, they feel comfort and relief their worry for home sickness for staying other places of the world.

But the unpleasant thing, if you wish acquire the both channel you had to pay the right amount for their charges of each of TV network.



PINOY TV, The Orbit Satellite Co., handle this network "Pinoy TV", and they charge per month SAR. 90, plus other charges.

TFC, if you live in your company accommodation all Filipinos living there are compulsory to pay the montly subscription (SAR. 30/per head). And if you live-out outside the company and living with rent appartment or fad you pay SAR.95 per month plus other charges.

Quietly good, but more than better if their charges is very minimal cost for everyone who wish to subscribes and agree to pay.

Why not this for free for every Filpinos living outside in the country, there a lot of option or alternative how to manage the cost for the compnay network to run e.g. lots of sponsors? I think?
