PHL government representatives in foreign post Riyadh, Saudi Arabia has gone berserk! 

The officials of the PHL Consolate in Riyadh has changed their tactics of intimidating the stranded OFWs from harassment to actually causing famine and disease in the Tent city according to reports coming from the stranded OFWs in the campout area. (news release: URGENT UPDATE: Food, water supplies withheld from stranded OFWs by PH Embassy in Riyadh http://migranteinternational.org/?p=2978)

According to latest reports from the stranded OFWs, food and water supplies from supporters were being withheld by PH embassy authorities upon orders from PH Ambassador to Saudi Ezzedin Tago.

  

Instead of help, the Philippine Embassy officials has resorted to actually inhuman tactics of trying to starve the people whom they are supposed to protect and help.

Is this officially ordered by the DFA itself, or  Ambassador Tago acting on his own initiative to starve tye protesting OFWs? In either case, heads must roll for this hyenous deeds by the DFA personnels in the said post. It is an act of disregard to human law. This cannot be explained away. Ambassador Tago must be recalled immediately along with the whole staff of the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh, KSA. If the President don’t do it, then it is clear that it is the policy of the Philippinbe government to leave the migrant workers, exported by them thru its LEP, to whatever fate in they meet in foreign land.

We call on all OFWs around the world to condemn this Government’s lack of concern for their citizen in foreign land. This election season and this must be exposed to the voting public in the Philippines to open their eyes on what kind of people they are electing to power.

The lesson must be learned. With this kind of people that the citizens in the Philippines, nothing can be expected. It reflects the condition of the Filipino people. The government has no love for ther poor ordiunary citizen. They will steamroll them if necessary to gain more power and money and the people has no right to protest, this what actually happening in the country.

What the PH embassy is doing is pure betrayal. It is illegal. It is merciless. What kind of embassy denies sanctuary and assistance to its constituents? Only in the Philippines! Damn the heartless and high-handed methods of the representatives of the Philippine government abroad!
