00:00 The witness witnessed a brutal encounter after a OFW tore the passport of his mistress.
00:10 That's how the victim's curse after the chance to earn money in Qatar was gone,
00:16 just a few hours before the trip.
00:18 The suspect was arrested, who admitted that his wife was hurting him,
00:23 according to a sociologist, it reflects the experiences of many OFWs.
00:28 And that's what Maki Polito is pointing out.
00:31 This OFW was just shocked when his passport and boarding pass were torn by his mistress.
00:40 He was supposed to return to Qatar yesterday, where he has been working as a domestic helper for 7 years.
00:46 But his wife waited for him at Naia Terminal 1, and when he refused to go home,
00:52 she tore his travel documents.
00:54 He doesn't want me to leave, but I said I will work for our children.
01:00 He separated his mistress because she was involved in the bombing.
01:04 The last incident happened on the eve of the new year.
01:08 I don't want to live there because he is bombing me.
01:11 What should I do? Will he kill me?
01:13 I have been working for 7 years, and I have no job.
01:16 His mistress is now in the PNP Aviation Security Group,
01:20 and she confessed that she was hurt by a household member on the eve of the new year.
01:24 He said he waited for his wife at the airport because he didn't want her to leave when they were not getting along.
01:30 The bus was going down so fast, I didn't want to see it.
01:34 I tried to pull myself together so that I wouldn't leave.
01:36 I didn't know that I would be charged.
01:38 The man was already inquired about the cases of violation of the Philippine Passport Act
01:42 and Violence Against Women and Children Act.
01:45 In the violation of the passport, he can be fined up to 60,000 pesos,
01:51 but not more than 150,000 pesos,
01:54 and he can be jailed for 6 years, but not more than 15 years.
01:58 The punishment for violating the Violence Against Women and Children Act
02:02 is fined up to 100,000 to 300,000 pesos,
02:05 and he can be jailed for 1 month up to 20 years.
02:08 According to a senior lecturer of the UP Department of Sociology,
02:12 there are studies that show that the abuse of women in the OFWs by their misters or partners
02:18 is due to domestic violence,
02:21 the financial empowerment of the woman,
02:23 or because she is the breadwinner of the family.
02:26 Usually, men feel that they are belittling themselves.
02:31 So whatever they say, like "you're making me change, you're making me left-handed,"
02:36 and to assert their dominance again,
02:38 they are making the abuse of the woman less.
02:41 The DFA was unable to contact the victim's OFW phone number in their file,
02:46 but the DFA Consular Office said that he can email OCA@dfa.gov.ph
02:53 to help him with his passport application.
02:56 For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido reporting for 24 Hours.
