The social media post labels the congressman “ignorant” and accuses him of intentionally dodging airport security checks, which include taking off his footwear at the checkpoint and harassing an officer.

To this, Bertiz said that he was simply reprimanding Abdul for allegedly letting several Chinese-looking individuals escorted by NAIA staff slip through into the airport without undergoing security checks.

He further explained that he was bothered by how easily Chinese nationals with NAIA escorts can get into the airport, whereas even if he had shown Abdul his NAIA security ID, and was cleared by the X-ray machine and metal detector, he was still screened by the said officer.

Regarding the circulating NAIA video, Bertiz said that he will ask for an explanation from NAIA General Manager Ed Montreal as to how private security footages can easily be publicized without asking permission from individuals involved.

WATCH: OFW Asks for Help in FB Video, Gets Rescued by OWWA

The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) immediately rescued a Filipina OFW last Saturday March 10, after learning of the abuse that she has been getting from her employers through a Facebook video that has gone viral.

FB Video Helps Save an OFW From Abusive Employers

In Kuwait, if you are a Filipino worker, you have to be cautious when helping out a fellow OFW even if there is enough evidence of maltreatment. You can get arrested for helping out another worker escape from an abusive employer. Rescues must be executed by the right authorities only, such as the police in coordination with labor officials. That is why a lot of migrant workers in this country resort to social media and the internet to ask for help. Many of which have been heard and rescued.

Thankfully, in the case of Magsayo, Hans Leo Cacdac, OWWA’s Administrator and Arnel Ignacio, deputy administrator quickly took action and coordinated with Kuwuati officials to facilitate the rescue.

“Nandito na po ako sa Philippine Embassy ng Kuwait, maayos na po ako dito,” said Brethchie Lyn after she was rescued last Saturday.

A lot of attention is placed in this Gulf country at this time due to the numerous news of maltreatment and physical abuse that domestic helpers endure, the most horrifying of which was the story of Joanna Demafelis, a domestic helper whose dead body was found stuffed in a freezer.

Meanwhile, the deployment ban for new Filipino workers in Kuwait is still in force and a memorandum of agreement on the protection of Filipino workers in this country is still to be finalized this week.

VIDEO: Nurses Fired for Making Fun & Squashing Newborn Baby’s Head

Nurses-Lost-License-for-Playing-aby-Head

As a parent, how would you feel if your is baby is being made fun of? Below is a shocking video of a group of nurses in Saudi Arabia filming themselves laughing while squashing the baby’s face. The nurses were said to be fired from their jobs after authorities investigated the video.

This also serves as a warning for us expat nurses and generally to everyone to please make sure we take our jobs professionally.

In a report published on Arab News, three medical professionals located in a hospital in Taif, just got themselves fired and even had their licenses revoked due to the unethical behavior they demonstrated towards a new born baby. A video of these acts was created and shared to the public through social media depicting these nurses having tasteless fun towards the newborn by squeezing and an pulling its head. This naturally caused a severe outrage not only in the medical community but also the general public.

Saudi Arabia: Nurses Forced to Leave their Jobs and Surrender Their License to Practice for Making Fun of Newborn Baby

In response to the scandal that was just created, the Ministry of Health immediately took action and conducted an investigation on these three nurses. After a couple of hours, it was decided that these medical professionals have to be fired from the hospital and that they should be banned from practicing their profession even in other healthcare facilities.

In the same report, a doctor named Mohammed Al-Ghamdi who advocates proper ethical standards at a hospital in Jeddah, was very insightful on his take on these events. He believes that how the online community reacted towards this incident is quite natural since babies are incapable of defending or speaking for themselves. So others, especially the parents, will naturally be compelled to act on these babies’ behalf.

The doctor also discusses that medical professionals are considered to be at the apex among other professions; one of the noblest professions in the world and are highly sought upon by everyone.

He added: “In retrospect, people who work in the medical sector, whether it be doctors or nurses, are under heavy scrutiny from the public. People expect them to respect their careers and responsibilities. To the people, doctors and nurses are the epitome of goodness, so they aren’t allowed any slights or shortcomings; their mistakes will always be exaggerated.”

This incident truly serves as a hard lesson to everyone; not only in the medical field. One should always be act accordingly based on the ethical regulations of the professions they belong to.

Watch: Baggage Employee Caught in the Act Tampering a Passenger’s Luggage

The footage was taken last October at an airport in Thailand for a plane bound from Phuket to Singapore. The employee in the video was hired by an agency to carry out the task by transferring luggage. A security officer secretly filmed this baggage handler while he searched for items inside the bag.

The viral video was also posted in a Facebook Page which earned a lot of negative reactions from netizens. Due to some similar facial features, many Filipinos even believed that the handler is a Filipino. But regardless of the nationality, we should all be reminded to keepsafe our belongings when we travel.

This video was shared so that the public will be aware of what happens when a passenger will check-in their baggage. It’s a precautionary measure to think that even an airline staff can do this kind of act.

The video was uploaded in YouTube 5 days after the incident. According to the video’s description: the police has already arrested the criminal who had admittedly taken a bluetooth speaker which was returned back to the owner.

There have been many other reports in the past that valuables from passengers were lost without any good explanation of what happened. We’ve even shared some experience in our own Philippine airports.

This video can at least show the public and make them realize that you can be a victim given the circumstance. So the best course of action is to be extra careful and to keep your belongings carried in a smaller bag that you can carry.
