No Place Like Home

No jobs. Low pay. No proper education. Ignorance. Weak foreign presence.  All these reasons help continue the cycle of human trafficking in our country.  The poor Filipino workers who have to languish in Malaysia, in the Middle East and in other parts of the world have become victims of human trafficking, preying on their poverty and ignorance and general helplessness of getting out of their unfortunate situation.  It is sad to hear the regret in their voices since they realize that the salaries they are receiving are not much higher from what they are receiving now, and definitely not commensurate to the suffering and abuse they experience from their employers.  It's like modern slavery.



I just hope that there are NGOs, local or foreign, who can rescue these workers.  The Philippine government sometimes are lucky enough to help some of them but there are still many who really need their help.  It is really important that our fellowmen just don't go abroad by illegal means.  The POEA can only do so much, but if pasaway talaga ang ilan, there is not much that they can do.
