She was deployed to KSA as a domestic worker in September 2019. According to her they were scammed by their recruitment agencies because when they arrived in KSA they informed that a different recruitment agency was going to handle them. She had 2 employers. She stayed with her second employer for 9 months. However, her employer was abusive, and she left because her son was becoming severely ill and she also had her own worries on her health. T’s second employer returned her to the agency where she stayed for 5 months because her employer did not want to give her the exit visa. She filed a complaint against him until she was brought to POLO (Philippines Overseas Labour Organisation) where she signed a waiver that her employer did not owe her any money and she would not file a case against her employer and recruitment agency when she was finally in the Philippines. But the truth was, she was the one who paid for her plane ticket. She is yet to file a complaint to POEA.” Philippines CSO member and documenter 17
