This is a saying I've learned from Kevin few years back, this is when he just came here in the Philippines. There's many I's in the word Philippines, why? Everytime he says these...I do not understand what he meant. Then he told me that in a TEAM there's no I same in a group. He explained that if maybe Filipino's will not only think about themselves and maybe help each other we will not be like this. If maybe we focus ourselves in things that others are into, maybe our country will be better. It is sad that many Filipinos are hard workers but not being appreciated because as well its common here the word JELOUSY. Our politicians and people in authority are too sensitive to focus their time to many unimportant issues, or they are busy on looking for something to comment about others. It is so funny that WE are so sensitive to other countries commenting on our people but we do not take care of those who are here. Why?
I can say, its only here in the Philippines. It is sad that Im Filipino but many things here in the country I should be ashamed off. Corruption, Power, being too sensitve, and voting people to waste our resources instead of using it for us. Before I used to just keep quiet about all these. But then since we have been arrested, I contemplated and realised that there is really a problem here. The police who we should entrust our safety...the media and the law. I felt like I was betrayed by my own country. Why the law is not really clear and why you need to be imprisoned before you are convicted. And why it is a must to bribe people instead on figthing for what is the truth.
It is already 20 days now since the so called unorganised entraptment happened at the office, and nothing is been clear to us. If you go to CIDG they do not know anything as well. Why? Does it mean you as individual can just go to CIDG to complain against someone and they will entrapt it there and then with out even checking also the so- called complainants? We are being arrested for ILLEGAL RECRUITMENT as to what the complainants affidavit. CIDG and POEA asking for a license on recruitment agency to my company...BUT Why the hell I need it? Why would I need to get a POEA license which would cost you 3.5Million when in FACT IM NOT A recruitment agency. Why would people insist that I need that paper when in fact we do not HIRE nor even recruit people but instead help them with their documentations needed to get a higher ratio in being hired abroad by companies. Why would I need to pay for such amount when our services is far away from recruitment. Isnt ironic that I need to furnish such certificate though we do not in anyway related to it? And why anyone can just make complain? The complainants that they got are those who had their money back already. And I never realised that for an amount of Ph 6,500 people can file against someone for illegal recruitment though they have signed that that amount is not nor intented for a placement fee instead that is paid for the processing of their documentations and consultation services that we provide. And lastly, I just realised that if you require these people to take TOEIC/IELTS as it is one of the requirement from embassies you can be a recruitment already. So it means all the schools and other consultancies here in the Philippines are doing ILLEGAL RECRUITMENT? Or it is an exception as my husband is a foriegner....And lastly, can a former employee also file a complain against your company that she had worked for many months and even holds the highest position at the office? Did anyone asked why that person is not affiliated with us anymore? Maybe if they would check our records a month ago that woman who pretends to be a victim stolen money of those who are complaining against my office. That woman who pretends that she is concerned about those who I supposedly victimized got their money... Im the owner but never the time I have asked any of my clients pay me through WESTERN UNION nor LBC, but that old employee had asked more than 30 people to send their processing fee through WESTERN UNION or LBC under her name (Remember she is not a cashier nor Finance Officer) and doesnt report to the office of any money remitted to her. And the worse thing is as Im most of the time not at the office...maybe almost everday, pretends she is me and interviews people and ask for gifts. Sigh, I hope before this CIDG conducts entrapment they should made an investigation first! Are we another Ted Failon?
And its only here maybe in my beloved country that when a special task force conducts entrapment operation they can arrest everyone even out the office under warrantless arrest and didnt even bother to read to the respondents their right, and why they are being arrested. And here is the most important thing! I AM THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY....IT IS A SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP, if there is someone to be detained now and to be questioned its should be ME! But since May 15, 2009 I was sent home and noone bothers looking for me, nor got my finger tips or statement or mod shot! I was not even invited for the inquest!!!!! Funny how I am irrelevant to the case when infact I should be the first person there. Or maybe the reason I am out is to get money to pay these people who kept on bugging me for money! I feel like my husband is being held for kidnap and I have to sort out the ransom money! It's ONLY HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES!
