Boholana Abused and Made as Sex Slave in Jeddah
« on: May 16, 2008, 05:40:28 PM »
By Ven Arigo
Bohol Chronicle


Two Boholana domestic helpers, both single in their 20s, have suffered from cruelties of their respective employers in separate foreign lands. One has been raped and made a sex slave. The other would have died by stabbing.

The first case involves 23-year-old Meya (not her real name) who left for Jeddah last Christmas only to find her "calvary" in the insatiable lust of her male boss who sexually abused her since April.

The second case involves 27-year-old Donellen (not her real identity, too) who would have been killed by stabbing had she not ran away - without returning - from her Singaporean employer.

Meya, from a barrio of a Second District town, contacted thru text messaging her parents sometime last month and told them her employer, the male owner of the house where she works, had sexually assaulted her.

The mother of the overseas Filipino worker (OFW), in her letter seeking assistance from government, used the term "giabusohan (abused)" in describing that particular incident occurring to her daughter.

Meya communicated again to her parents, which was also their last and only other contact since then, just last May 4, begging them to find ways rescuing her.

Rep. Edgar Chatto's office is now coordinating with the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) and other agencies on Meya's case as well as Donellen's.

In her same letter, Meya's mother recounted, in specific details as narrated in the May 4 text message from her daughter, how the latter had been repeatedly "used" by her maniac boss right inside his house.

Meya told her parents about the pains and self-humiliation that she had to undergo.

She---with whatever is left of her degraded human person---thus now screams for swiftest rescue from the claws of her sex-starved Arab employer.

While Meya could no longer be contacted at her cellphone number, neither her hiring agency has been found in the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) list of accredited recruiters.

In the case of Donellen, his father Elpidio Sendo of Catigbian reported to Chatto's office that his daughter has reportedly been in the safekeeping of the Philippine Embassy in Singapore since running away from her brutal male employer.

The Singaporean's wife would also easily harm their Boholana maid whenever she could slightly miss certain house chores because of overwork.

Donellen then could no longer bear the pains of physical and verbal maltreatment so that at one distress time she attempted to end her suffering---and very own life---by poisoning.

She confided in a November 2007 letter to her parents her drinking of a strong cleansing chemical.

Lucky for here, the potentially fatal substance was too strong that she vomited as soon as she took an amount of the chemical.

Immediately after the attempt of her male boss to stab her, Donellen sought refuge from fellow OFWs who helped her to the police.

But the migrant worker was instead wrongly accused and counter-charged with stealing by her employer couple.

Chatto's office is awaiting result of its inquiry on whether the OFW is still in the protective custody of the Philippine Embassy in Singapore.

The congressman maintains the OWF Action Line, a local broadcast program segment heard worldwide on Saturdays that assists migrant workers and links them to their families.

Meya and Donellen, both farmhand daughters, yearn to return home as soon as possible.

Donellen is an education graduate but who had not taken the board examinations until she found a chance to work abroad on hope of freeing her family from the stings of poverty.

I think agencies hiring these girls should make sure also that they are safe.  I don't know what should be done but this is making me mad and sad that these  hapless and helpless girls left their family to find a better way to eke out a living without knowing that they are going to be thrown to a lion's den!

Grace, when I was working in a recruiting agency in Manila, I'm telling you...most agency doesn't give a S_ _ ! They're only after of the employer's money paying them to find for an employee, that's about it!
Makalagot gud oi, pero ambot duna ba kahay mahimo ang OWWA ani?

Mike,

This is the first time I've seen this thread.

Is there a way we could know the real idenity of Meya, so I could at least inform Ambassador Villamor to take action. Without proper name, the embassy could not trace the victim's data/file, thus impossible to know her employer's name and address.

Please PM to me her real identity so we could at least inform the Embassy.

Or whoever knows the real identity of Meya, please write to the following:

The Hon. Antonio P. Villamor
Ambassador
Philippine Embassy in Saudi Arabia
email: [email protected]

Hope we are not too late and we could rescue this unfortunate Boholana. A relative of BlueAngel who is also my friend is frequently visiting the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh and he could follow-up.

My advise: Saudi Arabia is a hostile country and I am very much against sending domestic helpers to such countries. Let us send professionals and skilled workers instead.

Hi Macky,

Ven Arigo, the reporter of this news, holds the true name of the victim. El Mundo and Priscilla can perhaps help us on this matter as they are based in Bohol.

Leo,

Please let me know if she is safe now or rescued. If not, can you send me the name by PM so we can at least send an investigating team from the Philippine Embassy.

At least if we have the name, we can trace the records of the Philippine Embassy. We have members here who have influence at the Embassy and the relative of BlueAngel could personally talk to the ambassador in Riyadh.

I'm worried if she is still being held hostage by her employer. Reporting to police will not help as the law here is biased to thier own citizens. So, the only solution is the victim should escape from her employer's house, then my relative in Jeddah will pick her up and turn her to the Philippine Embassy. Once she is inside, nobody could hurt her.

Leo, since you are in Bohol, can you ask the victim's parents the mobile number of the victim. At least we could communicate with her and plan for an escape. Once she is out of that house, at least she is safe and we will turn her over to the Philippine Embassy. We have a big Boholano group in Jeddah who could give assistance. This group is organized for Charity and its time to use their money for a good cause.

Lets use our forum to help fellow Boholanos in distress.

Just now, I came to office.

So far no one has sent PM regarding the mobile of the victim. Once I know her mobile, I will call her and arrange somebody to bring her to the embassy for immediate repatriation.

Once she is inside the Embassy, she is safe from her employer. If she wants justice and claim compensation, bringing some money back, she could sew her employer to court under the sponsorship of the POLO OWWA. An attorney will be provided free of cost. This litigation takes time for about 3 to 6 months. I know her employer will not go to Jail, but at least there is a sure compensation mandated by the Saudi Govt. This will help her rebuild her life.

You may text the information on my mobile: +966 564 133 685.

Naay update ani, Macks?

Unfortunately Graze, wala gyud. I just need the phone number to contact her & know her address. I have two plans, either to inform the Embassy once I know her location. Or arrange escape if thats the only way. Once she is out of her employer's house, my relative in Jeddah will pick her up and accompany her to the Embassy. There is a Boholano organization in Jeddah active in charity and they have already donated a school building somewhere in Bohol. Kini pa kahang ticket lang ang kinahanglan unya kadogong Bol-anon pa nato.

Graze, this relative of mine is the brother in law of Maam Neneng. The neighbor of your late Uncle Pael, remember?

Wow, your plan sounds so good unta for this lady!  I just wish matultulan intawon ning atong kababayan to the right help. Salamat kaayo inyong desire to help her!

People who experienced extreme emotional pains normally are compassionate to somebody grieving and would easily felt thier pains & difficulties.

During the 80s two of our relatives, the brothers of Neneng's husband were killed by a militaryman in Bilar. They watched as thier brothers were shot. One was killed on the spot while the other died on the way to the hospital, while my Uncle watched them helplessly. I can not elaborate more on this incident. I want to forget this painful incident.

Moreover, Neneng is a cancer survivor and she is now living her second life through God's miracle. Her tumor grew in her heart's main artery which could not be operated, but she survived. Her desease did not stop her from serving God's little angels. Until now, she is an elementary teacher. Just sharing.
