Gukdon Ug Silotan ang Mapahimuslanon sa Gahom

We have reached the point of no return.  The reported sexual  exploitation allegedly committed by our very own public officials who  are supposed to act as protectors of our female workers abroad is a  big slap in the face for our leaders.

At the outset,  no one has come out to narrate her ordeal at the hands  of her sexual predators. Even then, “where there’s smoke, there’s  fire”. Our government must gather its collective strength and conduct  immediately  a no-nonsense investigation to determine whether there is  water to hold on to the claims that our female workers abroad, our  unsung heroines, the better half of the pillar of our family are  indeed sexually exploited and abused.

We can bear the pain working in a distant land, endure the meager pay  and act submissively to the pitfalls of being penniless, but it is  tragic not to take notice the writing on the wall which cries foul  over the debauchery perpetrated against our female workers by our very

own government officials. Call it exploitative and reprehensible, but  there is no better word  to best describe the beast that hides under  the aegis and auspices of government offices who prey on helpless  victims abroad.

We cannot afford to procrastinate anymore.  Let the sword of Damocles  hang and let it fall over the head of  misfits in government service.  Crime does not pay.
