No idea kung malinis ung papeles niya or not.

What other avenues can they explore? Thanks

the embassy may not refuse a valid plea for help.
we hear only one side of the story.
what about the rest of the story?

devil's advocate.

the 11-12 noon dzmm radio program caters to issues such as this.

The Embassy...

is maybe connected to her employer. Kaya nga nagpapa-assign sila sa saudi kasi prime posting, dami pwede pagkakitahan. Baka yung recruitment office sa pinas taga embassy mayari. O yung agent sa saudi partner taga embassy. And they protect their own.

Lalo na ngayon demonyo ang secretary of foreign affairs.
