OFW na pinagmalupitan ng amo sa Riyadh, isinauli sa agency at ginugutom naman daw ngayon
Joan Cruz Ravilo, an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is appealing for help to return to the Philippines.
She has been staying in an agency-provided shelter for two weeks, alleging they have only been fed rice without side dishes since June 2.
Ravilo reported that she and her Kenyan housemate are suffering from hunger, with the latter described as "halos buto't balat" (almost skin and bones).
She claimed her previous employers in Riyadh subjected her to abuse, including insufficient food and mistreatment from children, after she arrived in March.
Her employment was terminated in June, and her employers brought her back to the agency, which then placed her in the shelter.
Ravilo also mentioned that their living quarters are always locked.
