DOLE to OFWs: Don’t bring pirated CDs abroad
(INQ7.net 09/15/05,Veronica Uy)

Bringing pirated compact discs (CDs) abroad could lead to arrest

BRINGING pirated compact discs (CDs) abroad could lead to arrest, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has warned overseas Filipinos workers (OFWs).
Labor Secretary Patricia Sto. Tomas issued the warning on Wednesday after a male OFW was arrested by police for carrying 32 pieces of fake or pirated CDs upon his arrival last month at the Dammam Airport in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Citing a report from welfare officer Danilo Flores of the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in Riyadh, Sto. Tomas said the OFW left the country on August 23 to work as secretary for a certain Mustabah Al Haider/Ramjen in Rahimah, Rastanura.
He is now detained at the Dammam Airport Jail, the labor chief said without naming the overseas worker.
“The POLO and the Philippine embassy in Riyadh together with the employer are negotiating with the Saudi authorities for his release,” Sto. Tomas said.
Flores said his office learned about the arrest through another OFW, a certain Ronaldo Pineda, who works as an X-ray technician at the Dammam Airport.
According to Pineda, the arrested OFW signed a document confessing that he had intended to sell the fake CDs in Saudi.
The Saudi police meted out a fine of 16,000 rials as a penalty for the confiscated illegal CDs. His employer, however, could only afford to pay 3,000 rials.
Pineda also said the OFW suffered a mild heart attack while in jail.
