Victims of Illegal recruitment (Agency - Z-Drive Inc. ) at ang Reaction ng Consulate sa LA

Sa lahat ng mga OFWs:

Napakaraming nabibiktima ng illegal recruiters. Alam nating lahat na sa kagustuhan ng ating mga kababayan na makaahon sa kahirapan, madali na silang na aakit ng lahat ng pangako kahit na nga magbayad at isangla ang kanilang mga tahanan, maibayad lang sa mga walang-pusong recruiters upang  makapagtrabaho lang sa ibang bansa.
Kung ang Philippine Consulate Los Angeles ay tila bingi at pipi sa mga hinaing ng mga Pinoy,dito sa Nigeria na marami ring naloloko ang mga recruiters, ang embahada ng Pilipinas dito ay tumutulong upang masugpo ang mga illegal na recruitments.

Ating pong basahin ang mga pangyayaring nakasaad dito. Na kung saan kailangan ang tulong para sa mga biktima ng illegal recruitment at  ang reaction naman ng Consulado sa LA

For sometime now I've been wondering why a significant development such as this involving the rights and welfare of our countrymen has not been disseminated by the Philippine Consulate General - Los Angeles when the fact is that it has a very active press office that issues every now and then press releases of even happenings with limited interests. In events where the Consul General attends, for example, she always had in tow one or two photographers whose photos are soon after circulated in the media with the Congen in focus. It bothers me much that in this particular incident, at both times it was said that the group of human traffic victims were congregating at the consulate requesting assistance there was no information about it coming from our foreign posting and no news release issued afterward. No press conference called, according to the Congen herself. And Mr. Aves who got wind of this matter alleged that he was treated so badly, so arrogantly and disrespectfully by a Vice Consul when he went to the Consulate to inquire about it. Until now the said Vice Consul, Charmaine Chua, has not come up with any statement acknowledging or denying Mr. Aves' allegations despite her superior, Congen Aragon, informing us that the matter was brought to the Vice Consul's attention immediately. These victims are said to be in dire need of help to sustain them while their case is in suspense and there is no word if anybody is helping them adequately. Why is this so? When has the Consulate become deaf and blind to the interests of the marginalized and the distressed Philippine citizens who are understandably more vulnerable and easily intimidated in a foreign country?  Since when has the Philippine Consulate ceased to represent and safeguard our interests in situations like this? And where are our countrymen whose support and encouragement are needed by the victims concerned. Where are Los Angeles' four or five so-called press organizations, the many community (download) newspapers and the approximately 500 social organizations?

Pre galing me sa OWWA ngayon at medyo  me problema nga talaga ang mga biktima diyan pare. Na loko na nga ng illegal recruiter n Z-Drive Inc. idedemanda pa day ang mga pamilya nila dito ng anti bouncing check law dito dahil sa loan nila na 250k para sa placement fee nila. Biktima na nga rerematahin pa ang mga bahay at lupa nila dito  na collateral nila sa placement fee loan.

Philippine Consulate in Los Angeles are Lying

To all Filipinos who want to know the truth,
       Very recently the Los Angeles Philippine Consulate thru the CG Mary Aragon vehemently denied their knowledge about the 33 filipino victims of human trafficking, in fact the consul general defended to high heavens her underling vice consul Charming Zerna Chua (the shouting consul) who arrogantly shouted at an old columnist when she was asked about the victims of human trafficking.
       Sa  mga kasinungalingan nang taga consulado I have it here in my possession the signed affidavit  confession of the victims and HOLD YOUR BREATH FRIENDS, the affidavits of the victims are NOTARIZED AND AUTHENTICATED by shouting consul Charming Zerna Chua, who said SHE DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING AND HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VICTIMS.
       Now let me ask you friends SINO NGAYON ANG SINUNGALING si Pex Aves yung matandang pangit columnista nang PINAS News or ang mga taga Consulado?
       And here's more, sumulat ang OWWA incharge dito sa Los Angeles na si Mr. Duero sa Dept.of Labor at sa Director nang OWWA sa Pilipinas at ang sulat course thru or thru channel thru the Los Angeles Consul General, copy furnished ang sulat sa Executive Secretary sa Malacanang, Sec.of Foreign Affairs at iba pa, but the Consul General of Los Angeles did not endorse the letter asking the government offices concerned in Manila  to AT LEAST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND OR INVESTIGATE BUT IN RESPONSE TO THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE OWWA OFFICER IN LOS ANGELES .....listen to this,  TINANGALAN NANG LAMESA ANG OWWA OFFICER, TINANGAL ANG SIGN BOARD SA OPISINA NIYA SA LA CONSULATE, TINANGAL ANG BUDGET SA KANYANG OPISINA, PATI MISCELLANEOUS ALLOWANCE TANGAL.
ANG NANGYARI SA POBRENG OWWA OFFICER  he is now like a butterfly flying and floating in the air sa Philippine Consulate sa Los Angeles. Wala nang taga consulado ang kuma usap sa kanya, nothing, no one. Ang hinihintay lang nang OWWA OFFICER ANG KANYANG SUELDO BAKA PATI ITO TINANGAL NA RIN.
       AT ITO PA ANG MATINDI ANG CELPHONE NANG OWWA OFFICER PUNONG PUNO NA NANG DEATH THREATS, PATI PAMILYA NIYA UUBUSIN PA RAW.
       HOPEFULLY SOMEBODY OR SOMEONE FROM THIS GROUP WHO MAYBE HAVE A CONNECTION TO THE HIGH GOVT OFFICIALS OF THE PHILS. AND OR MAYBE PERRY DIAZ CAN VENTILATE THIS ISSUE TO HIS MEDIA CONNECTION IN MANILA SO THAT ONCE AND FOR ALL AN INVESTIGATION MAYBE LUNCHED.
       And here's icing for the cake: the victims of this human trafficking are now housed in a safe place and they are protected by the Dept of Homeland Security and the FBI, security wise they are secure kaya lang problema nila PAGKAIN, even toiletries kinapos sila, kahit toothbrush at toothpaste wala na, kaya by Monday may ini expect akong tulong from local Filipino churches at mga kaibigan magdadala sila kahit ano sa opisina para matulungan ang ating KAPWA FILIPINO, and for those Filipinos who live around Metro Los Angeles, please kahit anong maitulong ninyo ay very much appreciated.
      You can drop off your donation to the Philippine Consulate ATTN: OWWA OFFICER.
Thank you,

Respectfully yours,

Pex Aves
