Comments on this Embassy
Mga Kababayan I hope we will not stray away from the topic and we will not judge people according to race or nationality. I've been dealing with clients form various countries and I can attest that there are good and bad people as well, whether Filipinos, Syrians, Americans etc. Please let us not stereotype them.
I was in Syria two of months ago and I've met a lot of fellow Filipinas there. I've seen the good and the bad side as well.
What we need to do is to combat illegal recruitment and apprehend the illegal recruiters. We are not referring to their Philippine Counterparts alone. Two Filipinas from Aleppo handed me a note containing the names of their recruiters in Syria and their contact numbers. These people are responsible in communicating/recruiting Filipinas. They were in a hurry to hand over the note to me since the Madame was there too.
They are asking for help to apprehend the so called illegal recruiters. Some of them are even connected and supplying to licensed agencies in Syria. They were being sold to recruitment agencies. Nadeem Asfoor (also known as Jong/Jack in Philippines) recruiter is Mariz from Rizal mobile number +963944261000, Ghias Kilargi +963947777885, +963991002001, Mohammad Katib, Emma Castro (Al Sana Services Agency) (recruiter in Philippines), Naji Futajeh (Al Sana Services Agency) and a certain Omar Kilargi (now operating without license).
If any of us can forward this contact info to the proper authorities let us do so. I pity them, even if they are housemaids they should be treated as humans. I've also seen housemaids who are really bad mannered since Syria is also an open country. Giving headaches to their employers. I witnessed these circumstances since my sister is also married to an expat who is currently based in Syria. I hope someone will read and take action.
Kathy09 I think I saw Master 4 Maids Agency in Damascus? Were you processed at POEA?I know someone who can give us the contact info of Master I will post it here. My friend ordered a housemaid there.
To you Didith, Bernie, & anonymous2 amazing that the subject we r talking about here is the faith of that filipina who was abused, maltreated & almost die and the 3 of you are claiming you're a wife & employye of Arabs. Did you read all the comments before you? Did you understand all those asking help and asking the whereabouts of those relative working in syria, not only in syria we are talking almost all in middle east. Or you were all blindfolded and deaf with all the things happening there. For your information "3 stooges" I AM NOT RELATED TO ALEX NOR I AM THE FILIPINA YOU WERE TELLING THAT BASHED BY THOSE PEOPLE! I am simply a person who is asking about what's happening to those people who worked hard, leave their family to earn 150dollars a month. Here in Australia, the cleaners or DH you called earned $25.00/hour if they are leave-in they will be paid 500-600/week with a 2 days off! I'm not DH here i have my own family here but its just so disgusting how you accused people who you dont even know and show how you are. I feel sorry for those filipinos who are maltreated by those people. In Europe & also here I didn't heard any news of abused & maltreated filipina DH they were all treated as HUMAN! Its just so amazing how you react and accused somebody tsk,tsk ,tsk!
How much do they pay you to write those comments did they increased your salary? They should!!
you are moving away from the core of the issue ,and I dont care if you are a proud filipino or proud arabo that is your problem ,i am just raising the issue of poor maids who left thier kids and famillies back home ,and came to work with arabos and been abused in Saudi .lebanon,syria,etc and some of them raped and killed and the bast case scenario work as slave in exchange of peanut .
To you anonymous2 first of all why u have to hide ur identity if your a filipino? What does being proud to be a filipino if you're condemning the one who support the atrocities of people? You dont have any idea what is happening in the real world don't you? Why, are you secluded with all the luxury in the world that you're not aware of whats happening on those OWF's? I believe like this if you are a real filipino as well where is your sense? Or you are a Syrian protecting your countrymen? Which is which?
For your information there is brutality all over the world regardless of what nationality they are. It is their behaviour that allowing them to do so. No one is better than the other, it is the person themselves making them who they are and what they choose to be. If you're real Syrian then you should really be ashamed of yourself for betraying who you are because its not your nationality that comes out from you but its the rude behavior that your showing when you speak about arab people. Im a filipino but thank God whatever problems our country has, we're still proud of being filipino .
kabayan alam natin ang hirap sa pinas.kaya nga kadalasan ang mga kababayan natin ay umaalis para pumasok na dh pero sana bago tayo sumubo sa ganitong trabaho alamin natin ang hirap kung pano maglingkod sa amo lalo na at ibang lahi dahil may mga kultura sila na iba sa atin. sana yung agency na pinagaplayan niya binriefing muna siya bago umalis .hindi sapat na dahilan ang kahirapan upang isubo natin ang buhay sa kapahamakan.lalo na at may pamilyang umaasa sa kanya. kikitain naman siguro ng ating kababayan sa pinas ang 150 dollar bakit pa tayo susugod sa ganitong klaseng trabaho.
