00:27 My wife is not here. I will make you very happy.
00:30 If you didn't leave the Philippines, you wouldn't have to suffer.
00:33 You might want that. You might have been raped by your boss.
00:36 I'm the one who suffered here. I can't face how many women and how many men.
00:41 I have to fight for myself.
00:44 In the past decades, many of our OFWs have been raped, imprisoned, and have lost their lives
00:54 because of their boss' abuse.
00:58 This must be stopped so that the list of victims will not be added to our countrymen, especially to the women.
01:09 This is a true story of a wife, mother, and OFW who has experienced emotional, verbal, and sexual abuses all her life.
01:23 When will she have the strength to fight?
01:28 How will she be able to escape her boss' brutality?
01:32 Will she be able to use justice for herself and her child who was the fruit of her own greed?
01:42 This is the focus of our episode titled, "Abused and Raped."
01:49 [music]
01:59 [sigh]
02:00 Passport, ticket, contract.
02:07 Mom, do I really need to go through the check-up again?
02:13 We already saved money.
02:18 Here it is.
02:19 Oh, my child. You know that you only have a year of tuition fee. That's all we saved.
02:25 You've been abroad for 13 years.
02:28 Can you still expand your understanding of your mother?
02:35 Huh?
02:37 I will go back to Japan.
02:40 But I will borrow everything.
02:47 Everything.
02:48 All of your dreams.
02:51 Mom.
02:53 It's not easy.
02:56 I will endure everything because I want...
03:03 Finish your studies.
03:08 Mom.
03:10 I love you.
03:14 I love you too. I love you.
03:18 Mom, take care.
03:20 And you will bring me back here.
03:23 Why won't I come back? You're so beautiful.
03:28 And when I come back, we will go to wherever I want to go.
03:34 We will eat whatever you want to eat.
03:37 Promise.
03:39 The two of us. I will take you wherever you want to go.
03:43 Don't cry anymore. Come inside. I will be late.
03:47 I will not leave.
03:49 Mom.
03:50 Mom, I love you.
03:54 I love you too.
03:55 Come inside.
03:57 Bye.
03:59 Bye, Mom.
04:00 I love you.
04:06 I love you, Mom.
04:08 I love you.
04:09 Marielle and Aida were very close.
04:17 To support Marielle's studies, Aida went back and forth to Japan as an entertainer for several years.
04:25 Marielle did not waste the support given by her mother.
04:29 She studied well until her mother returned to the Philippines.
04:35 Marielle's mother, Marielle, was a very good friend of Aida's.
04:40 Mom?
04:41 Mom!
04:46 When did you come home?
04:49 You're the one who told me.
04:52 Of course, I wanted to surprise you. Come here.
04:54 Did you miss me?
04:55 Super, Mom. You're so beautiful.
04:57 Aida.
05:02 Marielle, this is Michael, my boyfriend.
05:06 Aida is right. Her son is really beautiful.
05:11 Michael.
05:14 I will not let your mother go back to Japan.
05:22 Why?
05:24 Are you going to marry my mother?
05:26 Of course.
05:31 Because,
05:32 Son,
05:35 I'm pregnant.
05:37 I will not go to Japan for now, Son.
05:43 Michael and I want to start a family.
05:52 Family, Mom?
05:55 What about me?
05:58 Papa left me. Will you leave me too?
06:01 What are you talking about? Of course not. I'm still here. We'll be together in the house.
06:06 You know, Marielle, I'm getting old. I want to be with you.
06:13 Of course, I want Michael to be with me.
06:20 Because he accepted me. He accepted my past and he loves me, Son.
06:27 I love your mother. I really love her.
06:29 Maybe it's better for you that I continue here.
06:34 Marielle, how was your relationship with your mother when you grew up?
06:47 Especially when she became an entertainer in Japan, right?
06:51 It was good that we were with my mother, especially when we were just two.
06:57 It was good.
06:58 One time, she had a new partner.
07:02 That's when our life really started to become a mess.
07:06 Daughter, Mom, Son.
07:09 Put this one thousand in your promissory note.
07:13 You're a child, you can hide it.
07:16 You'll just get paid for my work.
07:19 And add to your check-up with Baby.
07:21 Thank you.
07:23 Come with me.
07:24 Don't, Mom.
07:27 Come on, come with me. I'll take you to school.
07:30 But, come with me. So you won't get traffic and save money.
07:37 Come on, Son.
07:39 Your helmet.
07:40 Be careful. Hold on.
07:43 Hold on.
07:44 Okay, take care.
07:48 Mom.

18:05 Excuse me.
18:14 Don't cut whole eggplant.
18:18 Yes, sir?
18:20 This is right.
18:22 This is wrong.
18:24 You get the right cut eggplant.
18:28 You put ground beef
18:30 inside this,
18:33 like this.
18:34 OK, sir.
18:36 You follow me.
18:37 Like this one, sir?
18:41 Yes.
18:43 Put meat.
18:45 More meat inside eggplant.
18:47 More meat. OK, sir.
18:49 Eggplant become bigger.
18:54 Then you put red sauce over eggplant.
18:58 OK, sir.
19:02 That's right.
19:03 Is this correct, sir?
19:05 That's right.
19:07 OK, sir. I'll put this in the oven now.
19:19 I'll cook this one.
19:30 OK.
19:31 But you,
19:33 you like an eggplant with red sauce?
19:38 Eggplant with
19:42 sauce peanuts is good combination.
19:45 You like that?
19:47 I can make
19:49 your delicious food right now.
19:52 No, sir.
19:57 I don't like
19:59 eggplant with sauce.
20:00 Even though he doesn't have a contract,
20:03 Marielle agreed to work sometimes
20:06 with her employers.
20:08 This is to avoid her employer
20:11 who has a grudge against her.
20:13 Until,
20:15 Mom,
20:17 you always pray to Lord to watch over you
20:20 because you don't want dad and I.
20:22 My daughter is so sweet.
20:28 Me too, Jenny.
20:29 I always pray to you
20:32 to stay away from sickness
20:34 so I don't have to worry about this.
20:37 I miss you and your dad.
20:41 Honey,
20:45 let me turn on the camera
20:47 so I can see you and the kids.
20:49 Oh, no.
20:52 The signal will be cut off again.
20:54 Just keep sending it so we won't get sick.
20:57 And I need money.
20:59 Hello?
21:04 Danny?
21:06 The call is already unloaded.
21:15 Send me 5,000 right now.
21:17 I'll make the food.
21:19 I'm already sleeping.

22:57 Sir?
22:58 You're here.
23:00 My wife is not here.
23:02 You will like this.
23:05 Sir, sir, no, sir.
23:07 Marala,
23:09 I will make you very happy.
23:11 Sir, sir, I have children in the Philippines, sir.
23:14 I'm married, sir.
23:16 I'll kill you
23:18 if you don't make me happy.
23:20 Sir, sir, I don't know, sir.
23:26 Do you want to still
23:27 see your family?
23:30 Sir, sir,
23:37 sir.
23:40 What are you doing there?
23:48 I've been there for a year.
23:50 I've been there for a year.
23:52 I've been there for a year.
23:55 What did you do after that?
23:56 At that time, I couldn't contact Polo
23:58 because they were busy.
24:00 The time was different.
24:02 It was already night in Saudi.
24:04 Maybe there was no one available in Polo's office.
24:07 So I asked Sir Dios for help.
24:09 Dr. Marielle was seen
24:11 for the official medical legal report
24:14 as evidence
24:16 in the case she filed against Rashidi.
24:19 Although she could have refused the case,
24:23 she was still imprisoned in the rape case.
24:25 Sir Josh,
24:27 what if Sir Rashidi denied what he did to me?
24:30 I'll just go back to the Philippines.
24:33 I'll just file a case there.
24:35 What can happen to what you're saying?
24:38 I talked to the lawyer who gave you the embassy.
24:41 You can't file a case in the Philippines.
24:44 The rape is a criminal case.
24:46 Saudi has jurisdiction over your case.
24:49 Sir,
24:52 I can't tell them that we're in a relationship.
24:54 That's what other people do here
24:56 to get absolved.
24:58 And the woman is being separated.
25:01 Because they think that
25:03 they're in a relationship with a husband.
25:05 Sir, I can't be separated.
25:07 I have children.
25:09 No, no, you can't be separated.
25:11 Believe me,
25:13 I coordinate with the criminals.
25:15 And they say
25:17 you'll be sent to a shelter house.
25:20 I'm not that kind of person.
25:22 So just be patient.
25:24 We are doing everything we can to help you win this case.
25:27 What about the one who faced the prosecutor,
25:30 Marielle and Rashidi
25:32 while the case was being heard?
25:34 Marielle was in a shelter
25:36 and she studied a short vocational course
25:40 until she discovered...
25:42 What did they say?
25:44 When are you coming home?
25:46 I don't know yet.
25:49 I'm not here.
25:50 She's not sure yet.
25:54 Wait, Marielle.
25:58 I'll call you again
26:00 because your brother is on his way.
26:02 He has something to tell you.
26:05 I'm sorry.
26:06 I'm sorry.
26:13 Oh my God.
26:27 What did I do wrong to you?
26:32 I just want to give my children a good life.
26:35 But since I was a child until now,
26:39 why don't you want me to be happy?
26:44 Are you mad at me?
26:48 I hope you can help me because
26:51 I'm really poor.
26:55 It's really hard.
27:00 I hope you can help me
27:02 because I'm really poor.
27:06 My heart is really broken.
27:12 It wasn't easy for Marielle
27:19 to get her test again
27:21 because she's abroad.
27:23 She can't get a regular checkup
27:26 because she's not in the US.
27:29 And because she doesn't have enough money,
27:31 she's also limited in the amount of vitamins she takes.
27:34 Until...
27:36 Your father wants you to convince him to take the case.
27:40 He's ready to get you married and get you a job.
27:43 Besides, he'll also give you money.
27:46 Marriage?
27:49 Sir,
27:51 I have a husband and family in the Philippines.
27:54 What will my family tell me?
27:58 That I lied?
28:00 That I look like I have money?
28:03 It's not like that, Marielle.
28:05 But think about it.
28:07 Think about your daughter Rashidi.
28:09 Will your husband accept what happened to you?
28:13 Of course not.
28:15 How will he get support for your baby?
28:17 Sir,
28:20 I'm the one who's being forced here.
28:25 Don't I have the right to know who I am?
28:28 Don't I have the right to know who I am?
28:31 Why, sir?
28:34 If you're the one who's being forced,
28:37 if you're the one who's being chased,
28:39 if you're the one who's being forced,
28:41 why are you just going to keep quiet?
28:43 If you're being forced to take care of your money,
28:47 is it okay for you?
28:49 Sir,
28:51 I have the right to know all of this.
28:54 I have the right to know all of this.
28:55 I want to buy the right thing.
29:00 That's why I'm going to put my father in jail.
29:04 So that when he grows up,
29:06 he'll know that I did the right thing.
29:10 He'll know that I protected him.
29:14 Even if it's heavy, sir.
29:18 Even if it hurts here.
29:20 Sir,
29:21 I will give up my life to raise him up.
29:29 As a mother.
29:33 Sir Arniel, what will he do?
29:49 He's already an example
29:50 and he didn't have a good relationship with his boss.
29:54 That's where OWA,
29:56 DMW, and DFA will enter.
29:59 If we have a welfare case,
30:01 the OWA office in the whole world is 34.
30:05 Here in our country,
30:07 locally, we have 17 offices.
30:09 We have a hotline that works.
30:11 Our OFWs,
30:13 before they leave the country,
30:15 they can get the OWA branch.
30:18 Yes.
30:19 The OWA department where he will go.
30:21 Just for security.
30:23 Before they leave,
30:25 there is a pre-departure orientation seminar.
30:28 We give them this seminar.
30:30 What I'm asking for is to listen.
30:33 For example,
30:35 our OFW has escaped
30:37 from an abusive employer.
30:40 Is that right?
30:42 If that happens, you will do it in the Middle East.
30:44 You can be charged
30:47 with absconding.
30:49 You will not be able to go home
30:51 because you will not be able to get
30:53 your employer's signature
30:55 on your exit visa.
30:57 That's why you should call
30:59 the OWA,
31:01 the MWO,
31:03 or the DFA.
31:05 You should go there
31:07 to get proper assistance
31:09 so that if your abusive employer
31:11 files a case against you,
31:13 we will be able to counter it.
31:16 Congratulations, Marielle.
31:18 Thank God,
31:22 we won the case.
31:25 Yes, I can't believe it.
31:28 And the process is fast.
31:30 Just wait for 5 months of hearing,
31:32 and then your employer will give you 15 years of sentence.
31:35 You will be able to sleep peacefully.
31:37 Thank you so much, Sir Josh.
31:41 Your decision to continue the case is also right.
31:45 Now,
31:46 what we will do next
31:48 is to try to get child support.
31:50 Babe?
31:57 Sir?
32:04 Marielle, you're bleeding.
32:07 I'll take you to the hospital.
32:09 Come here.
32:10 Thank God,
32:13 the life of a child is saved
32:15 as a result of Marielle's abuse.
32:18 She was lucky to return to the Philippines.
32:21 And Marielle immediately informed Danny
32:24 about her terrible experience in Saudi.
32:27 You're so stubborn!
32:30 If you didn't leave the Philippines,
32:32 you wouldn't have been abused!
32:33 Maybe you still want that!
32:37 Maybe you're still hoping for your partner!
32:40 Or what?
32:42 Not Danny.
32:43 What do you mean not?
32:44 Are you going to deceive me?
32:46 Are you going to deceive me?
32:47 You said you want to have a jackpot!
32:50 I thought you were going to answer me!
32:52 What?
32:54 You're so stupid!
32:55 You're so stupid!
32:56 Stupid!
32:57 You want to have a jackpot!
32:58 I thought you were going to answer me!
33:00 What?
33:02 You're so stupid!
33:03 You're so stupid!
33:04 Stupid!
33:05 Who's going to answer me?
33:07 Me?
33:10 You're so stupid!
33:11 You're so stupid!
33:12 Hey!
33:13 You're a beast!
33:14 That's why she left to go abroad because of you!
33:18 If you're a good husband,
33:20 she wouldn't have left!
33:22 Instead of taking care of you,
33:24 loving you,
33:25 respecting you,
33:26 what will you do?
33:27 You'll hurt her!
33:28 Aren't you ashamed?
33:30 Did she want that?
33:31 Did she want that to happen?
33:32 Aren't you sorry?
33:34 She's already trying to get her way there!
33:37 Because she wants to give you a good life!
33:40 And then you'll just do that?
33:43 You're a beast!
33:45 What happened to her again?
33:48 Didn't she get pregnant?
33:49 Did she get pregnant?
33:50 You're a demon!
33:52 You're a beast!
33:53 You have no conscience!
33:56 [sobbing]
33:58 I am coming!
34:08 [sobbing]
34:10 My child,
34:28 forgive me for what I did.
34:31 I was stupid.
34:32 I didn't know if I could leave you
34:35 because I didn't do anything.
34:37 I was stupid.
34:38 I was stupid.
34:40 I was stupid.
34:41 I was stupid.
34:42 I was stupid.
34:43 Forgive me.
34:44 Forgive me.
34:45 Forgive me.
34:47 Mom,
34:51 I've been forgiving you for a long time.
34:54 But I admit, Mom,
34:58 I'm so proud of you.
35:06 But when I got married,
35:08 I had a family,
35:10 I didn't see you anymore, Mom.
35:13 Because when we love,
35:19 we become blind to what they do.
35:25 Give me a chance to change everything, my child.
35:35 [sobbing]
35:36 I will change the things I didn't do as a mother.
35:45 I will change.
35:48 I will be with you.
35:51 I will protect you.
35:53 You and I,
35:55 we will be together.
35:56 I will not leave you.
35:58 We will get up together.
36:03 [sobbing]
36:04 Mom, thank you.
36:07 I need you, Mom.
36:11 I will not leave you.
36:13 I love you, my child.
36:15 I love you.
36:17 I'm sorry.
36:24 This time,
36:27 Aida fulfilled her promise to Marielle.
36:30 She supported her, helped her child,
36:32 to get back on her feet.
36:35 Mom?
36:37 Marielle?
36:39 Yes, Mom?
36:40 Did you read my text?
36:42 What?
36:44 Not yet, I have a customer.
36:46 Why?
36:47 You need to go home.
36:51 Danny is heartbroken.
36:53 He's gone.
36:55 What?
36:56 But Mom,
36:59 you know that my husband's family is very angry with me, right?
37:03 If I go there, it might cause trouble.
37:06 My child,
37:08 don't think about what people will say.
37:10 Think about your children.
37:13 And you know,
37:15 there's no point in fighting between husband and wife.
37:18 Go there to get some company.
37:21 Above all,
37:24 that's what your children need.
37:29 There.
37:30 Mom?
37:40 I just want to thank you for everything you're doing for me.
37:45 You're the one who gave me strength to fix my problem here.
37:52 That's why,
37:56 you shouldn't be sad because you can be with your children.
37:59 And I also talked to the other side.
38:02 They agreed to let the child study in Manila next school year.
38:08 Really, Mom?
38:10 Yes, I told you,
38:13 I'll make it up to you.
38:15 I'll help you fulfill my dreams as much as I can.
38:20 Thank you so much.
38:24 I love you so much, Mom.
38:26 You're the one.
38:28 Yes.
38:30 She cried.
38:31 Why me?
38:33 You're the one who cried, my child.
38:35 No, Mom.
38:37 I'm just happy that we're okay now,
38:41 and I can still be with my children.
38:44 Come here.
38:47 Come here.
38:49 I love you, Mom.
38:51 I know, I love you too.
38:53 I love you too.
38:54 Tell us, when you first met your children,
39:10 what was their reaction to you?
39:12 At first, when I was still in the airplane,
39:16 I was happy and sad because I didn't know what the children's reaction would be
39:20 because of our situation.
39:22 But when I was about to get off the tricycle,
39:26 I was surprised to see them running towards me.
39:29 They were happy and crying.
39:31 When I arrived, I fulfilled my promise to go home.
39:36 I brought them back.
39:38 They were happy.
39:40 What advice can you give to women who are experiencing abuse?
39:49 To the OFWs, I can only tell you to be strong,
39:55 fight, fight, but don't overdo it
39:59 because the point will come when we fight too much
40:02 that we might still be able to turn things around
40:04 because that's what we're always afraid of.
40:06 And as much as possible, we should have the right number of people
40:14 to call us when we're in trouble.
40:21 God bless your family.
40:23 Thank you very much, Marielle.
40:25 Thank you, Tita Mel.
40:26 Thank you, GMA.
40:28 Thank you.
40:29 My heart goes out to Marielle and to all our OFWs,
40:34 the modern heroes of our families and our country.
40:38 My advice to those who are planning to become OFWs,
40:43 remind your recruiter or employer
40:47 to consult with the Overseas Workers' Welfare Administration
40:53 before you leave.
40:55 While you're abroad,
40:58 let's be a part of their culture and follow their guidelines.
41:03 And most importantly,
41:05 let's always pray and ask for the protection of our Lord
41:11 for ourselves and our loved ones.
41:15 Now, tomorrow, and forevermore.
