Plenty of OFWs are very happy to go home after a year (or sometimes 2 years) of working from month to month to spend time with family and have a good holiday. But this Filipina OFW in Hong Kong had a terrible experience during her vacation as she was abused by her partner.
According to a report from GMA News “Unang Balita”, this Pinay OFW on vacation was violently attacked by the suspect which is her live-in partner.

This is a sad situation for many OFWs especially when they just want to have a good vacation with the time they have left before they go back to work. The Filipina may have wanted to break up with her partner, but this situation shouldn’t have gotten this bad. The violent attack and abuse made their situation worse. We hope this doesn’t happen to others in the future.
