Mom of OFW in UAE Who Accidentally Killed Her Employer , Asks For Prayers
The mother of an OFW who accidentally killed her employer that attempted to rape her is asking for prayers as the UAE Court of First Instance in Abu Dhabi is about to release the verdict regarding her daughter's case on March 27.

The mother of an OFW who accidentally killed her employer that attempted to rape her is asking for prayers as the UAE Court of First Instance in Abu Dhabi is about to release the verdict regarding her daughter's case on March 27. Rajima Dalquez also launched "Piso para kay Jennefer" as she is still hoping that the employer's two children will accept the offer of blood money for the release of her beloved OFW daughter, Jennefer. Rajima will be flying for UAE on March 25 for the last hearing of Jennefer's case on the 27th . Jennefer's verdict, that was supposed to be released last February 27 was postponed due to the court decision to summon the 2 children of the Emirati employer to attend the hearing on March 27 where they will be asked for fifty times in the name of Allah if Dalquez is the only person who killed their father. Mrs. Dalquez is optimistic that the court ruling will favor Dalquez's statement that she only defended herself from her Emirati employer who tried to rape her on a knife point. She said she want her daughter to be back home sooner as her two kids are always asking when will their mom finally come back home. Meanwhile, Philippine Ambassador to the UAE Constancio Vigno, clarified that Jennefer Dalquez is NOT in the death row, like what the news in the social media is saying. The Philippine embassy is also hoping that the UAE court will heed their appeal on Dalquez's case. If the verdict will not be in favor of the Filipina OFW, the Philippine Embassy will then again appeal to the UAE Supreme court.

To work outside the country, they invest too much, spend a lot. They start making loans for the processing of their needed documents to work abroad. From application until they can actually leave the country, they spend big sum of money for it. But after they were being able to finally work abroad, the story did not just end there. More often than not, the big sum of cash they used to pay the recruitment agency fees cause them to suffer from indebtedness. They were being charged and burdened with too much fees, which are not even compliant with the law. Because of their eagerness to work overseas, they immerse themselves to high interest loans for the sake of working abroad. The recruitment agencies play a big role why the OFWs are suffering from neck-deep debts. Even some licensed agencies, they freely exploit the vulnerability of the OFWs. Due to their greed to collect more cash from every OFWs that they deploy, it results to making the life of OFWs more miserable by burying them in debts. The result of high fees collected by the agencies can even last even the OFWs have been deployed abroad. Some employers deduct it to their salaries for a number of months, leaving the OFWs broke when their much awaited salary comes. But it doesn't end there. Some of these agencies conspire with their counterpart agencies to urge the foreign employers to cut the salary of the poor OFWs in their favor. That is of course, beyond the expectation of the OFWs. Even before they leave, the promised salary is already computed and allocated. They have already planned how much they are going to send to their family back home. If the employer would cut the amount of the salary they are expecting to receive, the planned remittance will surely suffer, it includes the loans that they promised to be paid immediately on time when they finally work abroad. There is such a situation that their family in the Philippines carry the burden of paying for these loans made by the OFW. For example. An OFW father that has found a mistress, which is a fellow OFW, who turned his back to his family and to his obligations to pay his loans made for the recruitment fees. The result, the poor family back home, aside from not receiving any remittance, they will be the ones who are obliged to pay the loans made by the OFW, adding weight to the emotional burden they already had aside from their daily needs.

THIS OFW IN DUBAI PROCESSED THE RENEWAL OF HIS PASSPORT FOR ONLY 30 MINUTES!

Tristan, an OFW based in DUBAI detailed about the new developments while renewing his passport in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. He has this to say:

"Today I went to the Philippine Consulate here in Dubai to renew my expiring passport. Knowing how dreadful and long this day could be, I decided to bring some of my favorite magazines to accompany me along with a big bottle of water and some sweets.

The last time I renewed my passport here in Dubai was almost a nightmare. It's not only because it took me the whole day to complete the processing but also because of the mean and rude government satff. Nakakaawa yung ibang OFW na para bang utang na loob sa gobyerno ang kumuha ng bagong pasaporte.

But what happened today was a totally different scenario. Believe me or not, it only took me 30 minutes to complete the processing. And the staff and crew were very helpful, kind and efficient. Hindi ko na nga nabasa o nabuklat man lang ang mga dala-dala kong babasahin.

Many of Filipino people today will not see and feel this gradual change, well at least not for now. Lalo na yung mga Pilipino na hindi umaalis ng kanilang mala-palasyong bahay o yung mga hindi bumababa sa kanilang magagarang sasakyan. Pero kaming mga sinasabi na nasa laylayan, lalo na ang mga OFW na gaya ko ay ramdam ang mistulang pagbabago sa ihip ng hangin - unti unti na kaming minamahal at binibigyan ng respeto at ng halaga ng ating gobyerno.

Mga ma'am and sir, may mga magaganda pong nangyayari sa'ting bansa. Naway 'wag po tayo palaging maging alipin ng mga mali at malisyosong pinapahayag ng media. Meron din pong mga magagandang balita na gaya neto."
