OFW Who Could Not Speak English Sent Home By Employer

Working abroad is not easy as many people think. It is important that you know how to communicate through spoken language. If you cannot speak the local language of your host country, you should at least learn how to speak English being the universal language.
An overseas Filipino worker (OFW) deployed by her recruitment agency as a household worker in Jeddah was sent home by her employer because she could not understand and speak the English language. Joan just arrived in Saudi Arabia a week ago. The OFW said that because of poverty, she did not finish her elementary education and only reached grade 2. Joan said that she was assisted by her agency during application and all she did was to sign the documents to be able to work abroad.

Advertisement Sponsored Links A Filipina domestic helper in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was sent home by her employer after only several weeks of employment because of her failure to speak and understand English. "Hindi po ako marunong, ni isa po, pag sinasabihan ako ng how are you hindi ko rin po maisagot. Yuko na lang po ako," said Joan (not her real name) when interviewed by GMA News at the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO). Joan arrived in Saudi Arabia on the last week of January. According to Joan, because of poverty, she only finished Grade 2. She said she has been living with a man since she was 15 and that her live-in partner is now in jail on drug-related charges. Joan said this was the reason why she decided to try her luck abroad as a domestic helper. Asked on how she applied for an overseas job if she doesn't understand English, Joan said she was assisted by her recruiter and that all she did was sign papers Because of this, Labor Attaché Nasser Mustafa urged recruitment agencies to thoroughly scrutinize applicants, especially those recommended by their agents. "Dapat suriing mabuti ng mga recruitment agencies ang mga recommended ng kanilang mga agent," Mustafa said. "Kailangan on top of the situation sila sa pagre-recruit nila dahil kapag nagkaroon ng problema ay hindi naman ang agent nila ang mananagot dito kundi ang recruitment agency nila." Mustafa said aside from problems with the English language, some Filipina domestic helpers they have encountered also could not perform household chores properly, while some were minors. Mustafa said recruitment agencies should be discerning with their recruits.

Arab Employer Films Domestic Helper Fall From 7th Floor Building

GRAPHIC WARNING: THE FOLLOWING VIDEO SHOWS A WOMAN FALLING FROM A TALL APARTMENT BUILDING. VIEWER DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVISED Trending on social media is an cellphone video of a domestic helper believed to be from Ethiopia. As seen in the short video, the woman is seen clinging outside the 7th floor window of an apartment building literally by the fingers of her right hand. Speaking in Arabic, she was pleading for help from her employer as her Kuwaiti madam was taking a video and telling the maid to "Come, crazy!" Some sources say the woman employer is being detained by the Kuwaiti police following the release of the video in Social Media. Some people speculated that the Ethiopian helper was attempting to escape or take her own life, due to abuse from her employer. Nothing is yet proven otherwise. It is also possible that the helper was merely cleaning the window when she lost her balance. It is actually common to see household helpers in the middle east cleaning apartment windows. Another video below shows a similar situation, this time in Jordan. The domestic helper is later seen being assisted by civil defense personnel, which means she is alive. It is reported that she suffered from several fractures. The impact of her fall was absorbed by the soft roofing material of where she landed.
