ABUSED OFW: Pahima Alagasi’s body was almost flayed after her employer poured boiling water on her. The photo was posted by her cousin on Facebook.
MANILA, Philippines — It has been four years since Filipina household worker, Pahima Alagasi was abused by her employer in Saudi Arabia.
Her entire body was almost flayed after her employer poured boiling water on her.
Pahima filed charges against her employer but this was dismissed by the Saudi prosecution office.
In an ironic twist of fate she was even sued in return.
“Dahil lumabas sa FB (Facebook) at naging viral ang litrato ni Pahima na pinost ng pinsan niya to cry for help,” said Susan Ople of the Ople Center.
(Because the photo of Pahima posted by her cousin on FB (Facebook) to cry for help, became viral.)
The lady employer retaliated and filed a slander case against Pahima. And since the case wasn’t dropped, she could return home for four years.
By next week, Pahima will return to the country and will go straight to her home province in North Cotabato.
The Saudi prosecution office has dismissed all charges that were filed against Pahima.
“We thank President Duterte and Crown Prince Saudi Bin Naif for intervening in this case. Without their help, Pahima’s dream of seeing her children would have been impossible,” ACTS-OFW party-list Rep. John Bertiz said.
Meanwhile, the legislator has also appealed to the Saudi government to grant a pardon or amnesty to more than 100 nurses and professionals who were imprisoned in Saudi Arabia for submitting fake documents. — Reynante Ponte | UNTV News & Rescue
