Re: Overseas Filipino Worker Died in Kuwait

As if death itself is not enough of a sacrilege to life—our bodies have to be further degraded by either decomposition or cremation, and flesh-desecrating autopsies.

Fuck god in the face for the sick fuck he is.

Oh, wait... there is no god; just the residual, traumatic revenant of a diseased illusion—inculcated in us like a virus, in our childhood.

I can only wish that we could one day give all beliefs in god a final autopsy.

Re: Overseas Filipino Worker Died in Kuwait

Several Filipinas have asked for my advice on going to work in the Middle East. I tell them if you want to be raped, beaten, enslaved, then killed with impunity, go work there. Even when they know the bastard who did it (usually the house husband), he is immune under local law.

The Phili Govt gets a cut of the wages that are sent directly to the families, so the govt doesn't want to stop it.

I had a case representing a Filipino cook on a cruise ship in European waters. He died of a highly contagious disease, he served guests at the buffets, and the ship covered it all up, and tried not to send the body home. Only my interjection in a Florida federal court made them ship the body all the way to Davao City, and in the litigation I learned the details of how the Phil govt has horribly compromised the rights of those ship workers and cut off most legal remedies of the workers and the families. You want to support that system? Go on a cruise. Every single smiling Filipina face you see serving you and changing your sheets is working in near-slavery.
I lived in the Philippines for 20 years, not all OFW have such horrendous situations. My wife's niece decided to work abroad, and took a job in Saudi. We tried to tell her it was one of the worst places she could have chosen, but she went, and she loved it. She is still working there now, 15 years later.
Her job in the Phils, as an intensive care nurse, paid around US$200 a month, her first salary in Saudi was $1500

I worked offshore half my life, oil field trash, and most of our deck and marine crew were filipino. They loved the job, and earned a dozen times more than they ever would back home.
