IN June this year, the PCIJ stopped publishing its bimonthly magazine, the i Report, to focus on multimedia journalism. Beginning September, we will be bringing out the i Report online. Henceforth, the in-depth features and human interest stories previously published in the magazine will be available on pcij.org and will also be linked to posts on this blog.

As a preview to what we have to offer, the PCIJ begins i Report online with a dispatch from Beirut by Herbert Docena, who traveled to Lebanon recently. In ?The Jumpy Ladies of Lebanon,? Docena describes how Filipina domestic workers in Lebanon are jumping off buildings to escape from Israeli bombs and abusive Lebanese employers.

This year, 20 Filipinas have jumped off apartment buildings in Lebanon. In 2004, six Filipinos working in Lebanese households died under ?mysterious? circumstances after falling from buildings ? mysterious because while their employers claimed the workers committed suicide, their fellow workers say some of them have been thrown off the buildings by their employers.

NGO workers say that the women, many of whom are treated like modern-day slaves, are jumping off buildings out of despair. In 2000, there were over 400 reported cases of physical and sexual abuse against migrant workers. Half of the victims were Filipinas.

Wew! It’s really like having no choice. And our government isn’t providing enough support as it flaunts the role of the Overseas Filipino Workers as “heroes”. To be exact, the OFWs saved this administration, but ca n this administration save the OFWs? With worsening situations in the countryside (like teachers in Mindanao who did not get their September 2005 salaries in the ARMM. Read story here: http://www.istambay.wordpress.com), many Filipinos seek the greener pasture abroad.
But, its depressing, they also end up as the Jumpy Ladies.

It is like caught between rocks and hard places. It is becoming like finders keeper. If you’re lucky enough to find a decent employer, then you stay for keep, otherwise jumping off the window is not a very desirable option. And of course the Government will focus attention on the plight of our OFWs in Lebanon at the moment, because that where the attention is. But I believe it is also true to a lot of other places where we deployed our nationals. And who are to blame for all of these. First the Government itself. For not following up on the plight and complaints of OFWs that were the victim of exploitation by the Employment Agencies and the Public Servants themselves. For sending nationals to countries known to violate the minimum standard of accepted ethical labor practice. Slavery and Indentured Labor (really, just a sub for slavery) had been abolished a long, long time ago, but it’s coming back in the form of our very own nationals in modern times. And I may ask, where do our honourable men and women of the Churches stand on this??

6 yrs na ako dito sa middle east, at sa karanasan ko ay mabibilang ko sa daliri ang mga Lebanese na puwede mong kausapin ng matino. Halos karamihan sa kanila ay arogante, mayabang, at mga bastos. Feeling amo ang dating, mga matapobre at walang awa sa kapuwa, kaya ng binomba ng Israel ang Lebanon sabi ko sa sarili ko they deserve it, nadamay nga lang ang mga kapwa natin Pilipino. Nagtataka lang ako sa iba nating kababayan na nasikmurang mag-asawa ng Lebanese, sabagay malaya tayong pumili ng makakasama sa buhay. Hindi ko maintindihan sa gobyerno natin bakit napayagan ang mga kababayan natin na magtrabaho bilang katulong sa mga Lebanese na ang kalagayan sa buhay ay pangkaraniwan lamang.Kaya ang nangyayari hirap na hirap sila sa trabaho pero kakarampot ang suweldo, kulang pa sa pagkain, kaya mga kababayan ko ingat sa pagpasok bilang katulong sa mga Lebanese, mga manyakis pa yan.

Surely those poor Philippine ladies are victims of terrorists in their domestic performance.

Who are and where are the terrorist leaders and their money? Intelligence agencies and government know it very well.

Some thoughts I share and some references to enlighten readers on related themes below:

Fighting ONLY the mad soldiers of terrorists can not stop terrorist’s crimes. Terrorist mullahs and ayatollahs have all millions of mohammedans living in the world as potential suicide bombers or soldiers to replace the death ones endlessly.

Christians, Jews, Buddhists, and Taoists believe in a god they define in a way it could be the same entity; that is why all of them can tolerate their differences and they do not try to exterminate each other in the name of their own god features.

On the other hand the so called “allah”, which is the only one god to the mohammedans (all of them) is a very like a demon god (no fair play, no honesty, not love but hate as the main feeling to teach the kids, Ref. Koran)

Since early ages of islam, all nations that got in touch with them have perceived by facts allah as a monster of evil, a “terrorist god”. Allah is not in any way equivalent to the entities named as Jehovah, Yave, The Father god, etc.

Remember or study on:
By mohammedans genocides performed in northern Africa, India, Turkey, Persia, South Europe, Central Asia, South East Asia, India Sea Islands, South West Africa, etc. all of then carried on to impose their mad religion by terror on others. The worst and bloodiest slaves (work and sex including children) commerce in the whole humankind history is still a mohammedan (islamic) activity done in the name of “allah’s instructions” forged by criminals and compiled in the handbook of religious stupidity (koran).

Truly history shows intolerant and inquisition methods applied on aborigines in America and Philippines were really performed by mohammedan minds disguised and simulating being active Christians (Spaniards and Portuguese actions in America).

Real world activities show up mohammedans as professional deceivers in: commerce, products industries, insurances, banks, oil trade, weapons trade, person’s trade, medical services and supplies, politics, education, etc.

FACTS:
50% mohammedans in USA were found showing serious symptoms of alarming levels of clinical depression, compared to only 20% of a similar group in the general population (*) This is caused by self isolation from society.

Muslims who suffer from depression and other disorders would provoke more discrimination and wariness, as it is to conclude that the verbal harassment or social exclusion provokes more mental illness. (*)

100% Islamic believers in USA (same in Europe, Australia, and West Asia) display violent tendencies or mental illness. (*)

31% of respondents to a Gallup Poll (USA) said they would feel “more nervous flying if a Muslim man was on the plane.” (*) (Don’t you?)

100% of deadly airline incidents over the last twenty years have, in fact, involved Muslim men, (*)

44% of the public thinks that U.S. Muslims are “too extreme in their religious beliefs. (*); Same you can find in France, England, Holland, Spain and Germany.

52% don’t see mohammedans as “respectful to women.” (*) Are they? Have you read koran?

The problem with Muslim communities in the US and Europe (Remember: France, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany recent (2006) mohammedan riots?) isn’t that they face discrimination from their neighbors; it’s that they receive dysfunctional, delusional teaching in too many of their own mosques. There are self-destructive and self-discriminating elements in Islamic beliefs and practice. Obviously all these facts lead to the dysfunctional nature of Muslim communities all over the world.

All-Muslim societies (Pakistan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Gaza, Iraq, Algeria, and many others) remain the most violent, brutal, impoverished and benighted cultures on earth; immigrants from those nightmarish lands do vastly better when they resettle in the West, not worse. Even so, they try to destroy the non mohammedan society every where they go.

On the recent British converts to Islam terrorists planning to destroy planes, according to authorities, in the brief time that they’ve lived as Muslims (in one case, less than six months) have they experienced such intense discrimination that it literally drove them mad? It’s far more plausible to conclude that their embrace of Islam itself facilitated their sick fascination with martyrdom, a sense of grudge, hatred for the society that raised them, and ancient dreams of world conquest.

If those three British bomb plot suspects who converted to Islam (1) had instead found their way to Pentecostal Christianity, or traditional Catholicism, or the Church of Jesus Christ, Latter Day Saints, would they ever have considered killing themselves to blow planes out of the sky?
(1) Worshippers of devil allah in the north east London Walthamstow area mosque (terrorists school).

It’s hardly irrational for airport security personnel, police officers, prospective employers, or casual acquaintances to display special wariness with those who express fervent commitment to their Islamic faith. A true mohammedan must be terrorist as their koran asks for.

For anyone who takes Islamic teaching seriously, the current state of the world offers a glaring, painful example of cognitive dissonance: the backwardness, poverty, and endemic misery of Muslim societies—particularly compared to the privilege and prosperity of the West—either undermines the validity of the Koran, or proves that evil infidel conspirators have upset the natural, proper, and Godly order of things.

The best way to respond to aggressive, triumphalist religiosity from the Muslim community isn’t to insist on more tolerance, or even acceptance, of Islamic demands; nor can we hope to counteract the allure of Jihadist ideology with ringing affirmations of easy-going secularism. REMEMBER mohammedans produced a completely different kind of god from the rest of the humankind.

Atheists, Gnostics, skeptical, scientific minds, etc. can not survive in a mohammedan country, as they certainly can, even in the most fanatic non mohammedan religion society.

Some end conclusion.
Sometime in the past there were not mohamendan menaces to America or to Europe. Now it is very different. Thousand victims and thousand of millions in damages.

Now still no unveiled actions that menace Europe or America because fundamentalism in Latin America. (Buenos Aires Jews installations terrorist destruction and killing)

BUT. Indoctrination in this part of the world is in accelerated process. Soon Latin American fundamentalist’s leaders will have their millions alienated people ready to perform any sort of terrorist actions. Terrorists under training with bolivarian symbols and flags showing weapons as that of the Hezbollah and hamas can be observed during official army parades in Cuba and her South American partner countries.

Demonstrators paid by governments can be seen acting in theaters, parks, farms and streets, performing synchronized arm rising gestures, crying out slogans and marching like gooses, all in the well known Islamo-Nazi way. All of them armed with Russian weapons, in uniform or wearing red shirts and head covers, and showing the effects of the training and brain wash done to develop violent tendencies and mental illness described above in mohammedans.

Soon the blasts and destruction will begin in this side of the world if nothing of practical consequences is done. Four imitators, admirers and close friends of saddan hussein and bin laden have become presidents and controll in a totalitarian way army, justice, law, Id procedures, voting in a way that cannot be changed in a standard democratic way.

that’s the longest and most comprehensive diatribe against a race and religion i’ve come across yet, august ramnem. the anti-islamic intolerance and bigotry manifest in your comment ought to have you commended by your peers.

islam as a religion does not teach hatred, nor does it teach violence. islam, in fact, is a religion of peace.

what is happening is that there are people who twist the admirable and stern tenets of the islamic faith into vicious lies that serves only the interest of the power-hungry… a situation that happened among those who called themselves christians in the age of the crusades and the inquisition. if you wish an example closer to our time, there’s always the fuhrer, il duce, and their ties with the WWII papacy, or even the justifications used by the ku klux klan.

though i am not muslim, i respect the teachings of the prophet muhammad (peace be unto him), and nowhere in the Qu’ran have i ever understood it to affirm that the highest form of worship for an unbeliever is the murder, rape, and pillage of the infidel.

however, if pressed to take literally the many strong words found in that book, then here’s my rejoinder: if taken literally, the Pentateuch, the Book of the Judges, the Book of Kings, the Apocrypha, and the Book of Revelations speak in the same tone. if islam, with the Qu’ran as it’s holy writings, is accused of being a religion of warfare and discord, then christianity (and even judaism) can be accused of that as well.

a plague on all bigots, i say.

Feeling amo ang dating, mga matapobre at walang awa sa kapuwa,

hindi ba tiered system sa saudi arabia (and most of the middle east)? Between Sunni and Shiites, mas mababa ang status ng Shiite minority sa KSA.

Here’s how people rank in Saudi, according to an expat who lives there:

1) Sunni
2) Shiite
3) Westerners like Americans and Europeans
4) Asians like Indian, Pakistanis and Filipino OFWs.

so for example, nagkaroon ng collision sa kalsada ng dalawang kotse. One is driven by a sunni, the other by a shiite. the courts will usually favor the sunni over the shiite, kahit na yung sunni ang may kasalanan.

kung nagbanggaan naman ang kotse ng isang shiite driver at pinoy driver, ang “kasalanan” sa collision ay maibi-bintang sa Filipino driver, even if hindi naman niya kasalanan yan.

kung nagbanggaan ang shiite at isang western, kasalanan ng western yan.

kaya ng binomba ng Israel ang Lebanon sabi ko sa sarili ko they deserve it, nadamay nga lang ang mga kapwa natin Pilipino.

that’s not nice, leo

6 yrs na ako dito sa middle east, at sa karanasan ko ay mabibilang ko sa daliri ang mga Lebanese na puwede mong kausapin ng matino. Halos karamihan sa kanila ay arogante, mayabang, at mga bastos.

To me it is the dominant cultures of any country that make its people behave they we they do. In Saudi, there is the “class” of one group preferred over the other and in so many other places. in the Philippines, the rich and the wealthy and the well-connected always get preferential treatment anywhere in the country. Just introduce who you are and it’s in the ‘auto’ control. But the same people coming to the country where dominant behaviour and culture is entirely different from theirs can easily adapt and assimmilate. The Arabs and Muslins who migrated here, easily can tolerate and accept (the majority) all other segments of our society. And so us Filipino, we learn to set aside our very own biases and prejudices even among our very own and learned that Canada won’t tolerate such behaviour. So in the end you make of who you are, collectively..

agree with you jester. it seems majority of non-muslims think that way. they only know of “jihad” as the “holy war” or death to the infidels or unbelievers. a totally false belief (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jihad ). millions of our OFW’s and other nationals who have been working in the middle-east have not been threatened of being slaughtered due to this mantra that some people (or govt) kept on peddling to the western world and their allies. in fact, other than Saudi Arabia, arab countries allowed christians and other religious groups to openly practice their faith on their soils. and come to think of it, who committed majority of the genocides around the world? who were responsible for world wars 1 & 2 and the deaths of millions of people? why single out muslims as evil doers? do we have terms such as christian terrorist or christian fascist?

bale 9 years na pala ako sa middle east 2 yrs sa saudi at ngayon ay lumalakad na sa 7 years dito sa United Arab emirates. Lahat ng uri ng tao nandito sa U.A.E. maliban sa mga Israeli, kaya hindi ko kayang ilarawan kung ano ang tunay na pag-uugali at kalakaran ng kanilang buhay. Subalit lahat ng lahi ng tao ay nakasalamuha ko na at napakalaki na ng karanasan ko sa mga lahi ng tao na nandito sa U.A.E. At isa nga ang mga Lebanese, ang ugali nilang arogante ay nakuha nila mula sa lahi ng mga Pranses, kaya ang ugali nila na palalo at mayabang ay hindi lamang tumutukoy sa relasyon bilang amo at katulong, ito ay bahagi ng kanilang kultura, ibebenta ka nila ng buhay kapag nakatalikod ka… Apat ang kasama ko sa trabaho na Lebanese, por dios por santo, parang pag-aari nila ang kumpanya, daig pa ang mga amo namin kung magsalita at mag-utos sa mga kasama ko sa trabaho, ang bentaha nila, pareho sila ng wika ng amo namin, nagkakaintindihan sila, kaya kahit anong katwiran mo, tameme ka. Mahusay silang mag-paikot at mambola ng kapuwa, matamis ang dila, kasabihan nga…Kaya naman natakbuhan ako ng Dhs. 7,000.00 ng hayup na Lebanese na kasama ko sa trabaho, likas kasi sa ating mga Pilipino ang magtiwala sa kapuwa, kahit sa ano pang lahi… Ito ay tunay na pangyayari, kaya naman malakas ang loob ko na mag komento ng may halong poot. Marami ang Arab, Syria, Yemen, Saudi, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar,ang topic natin ay Lebanon…Tama, magiliw nga sila, matamis mangusap, pero nuknukan ng traydor. Tayong mga Pinoy kung kakarampot ang suweldo, nagtitiis tayo na tayo ang kumikilos sa ating bahay. Pero ang mga Lebanese , hindi… kahit ang kita nila ay halos sapat lang sa kaniyang pamilya, kukuha yan ng katulong, lalo pa at ang katulong ay suswelduhan lang ng karampot. Mahusay sila sa matematika, karamihan ng trabaho nila dito sa UAE ay mga accountant…. Kaya pagdating sa pera, hindi mo sila maloloko , master nila ang pagkwenta ng pera… Kaya susulitin nila sa trabahador ang kahulihulihang sentimo na kanilang ibabayad sa mga naninilbihan sa kanila. Lahat ng paraan para kumita ay alam nila, kahit na mangahulugan na ibenta nila pati kaluluwa nila kay satanas… kumita lang… Ninakawan ang kumpanya namin, winasak ang aming kaha de yero, natural lahat kami suspect… Nagpiyano ako sa police station, na imbestigahan, na harass, di naman gasino, nahuli ang magnanakaw, gaya ng dapat asahan, isa sa mga Lebanese na kasama ko sa trabaho ang salarin… Dalawin natin ang mga kulungan dito sa UAE, karamihan sa nakakulong… Lebanese, kaso, dispalko, talbog na tseke, nakaw, utang at iba pa… ang ratio: sa 10 nakakulong 4 ang Lebanese, 2 Pakistan, 1 India, 1 Pilipino, 2 Egptian … Nagkataon nga lang siguro, o mali ang paraan ng pag-aaral ko sa mga kultura at pag-uugali ng mga tao dito sa UAE.

Philippine people massively deceived and predated by mah ommedans in Midle East Isl amic countries shows who are the criminals and why.

Street Actions by different people in Philippines allow seeing people acting as closest friends of mah ommedans.

You can find in this groups: Enemies of USA and western civilization interested sponsors (*1) – persons trying to promote themselves as ethnical or cultural group leaders – drug traffickers lobbyists, and so; besides there is the mass (the many naive honest people).

The mass has a limited comprehension on medium deep politics, economics or science themes. This way that is a very comfortable sheep like mass of followers to any mass or social predator to profit.

It is necessary to enlighten this people in order to prevent (vaccinate) them to become used to favor mahommedans and help interests like those of Arab terrorists, neo-communist terrorists, drug traffickers and any kind of social predators disguised as protectors of nature, of natives, poor freedom givers, underdevelopment doctors, etc. (*2)

This way information will make them non dependent or servants of intermediates and scofflaw employers forever.

Even many of those people speak and read English, Some of them still read Spanish.

Some useful thoughts developed (in high global Spanish) to be used in a closed family and friends circle can be used either directly or as a reference background to other actions. Even can bes translated to English or other local languages in order to be useful to all potential victims in Philippine workers eager to migrate.
