Antonio Villafuerte: the POLO supervillain of Riyadh

Antonio Villafuerte: the POLO supervillain of Riyadh


Antonio Villafuerte, Asst. Labor Attachè in Phil Embassy, Riyadh, KSA

Asst. Labor Attachè Antonio Villafuerte exemplifies the arrogance and villainy of the POLO officials in the Middle East. He was linked to “sec for flight” scandal by embassy officials and staff by the accusations made by Rochelle (pseudonym) in an affidavit pinpointing him as the official who abused her sexually.

Reports arriving at Migrante International office in Manila reveals that in retaliation, he went inside the Bahay Kalinga in the premises of the Philippine embassy in Riyadh and made the female OFW wards of the shelter to sign an affidavit refuting his involvements to the scandal. The hapless women were forced to sign for fear that their repatriation will be stopped if they don’t.

The women signed but reported the incident to Migrante International who informed DOLE office of the incident.

This official must be recalled immediately to stop the harassing of the OFWs in attempt to whitewash his irresponsible activities.

People like Asst Labatt Villafuerte is a shame to his position and put a dirty stain on the DOLE as a whole. People like him must be removed from office without delay and banned from government service.
