Arlene (not her real name), 33, an OFW from Oriental Mindoro, arrived in Jeddah on August 3 to work as a domestic helper for the family of a Saudi pilot.Welfare Officer Romualdo Exmundo of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) in Jeddah said that Arlene's employer took the maid to the Philippine Consulate on Oct. 15 to seek help, saying she started acting strangely after only a month at work.
Ayon kay OWWA Welfare Officer Romualdo Exmundo, mapalad pa kung tutuusin si Arlene (hindi tunay na pangalan) dahil naging mabait ang amo nito at sinagot ang kanyang pagbabalik sa Pilipinas.Ngunit dahil na rin sa kondisyon ni Arlene, 33-anyos, kinailangan siyang inihatid ni Vice Consul Lorenzo Jungco pabalik ng Maynila sakay ng Saudia airlines kasama ang ilan pang ipina-deport na OFWs.
