Sen. JV Ejercito on the Kuwait OFW Rescue Mission

Ambassador to Kuwait Renato Villa had to make a hard decision. While we need to respect laws of the host country, priority of any government official should be the welfare and lives of the Filipino citizens.

While Villa may have violated protocols of the Kuwaiti government, saving the lives and protection of welfare of Filipinos should be given utmost priority.

I would rather see Villa being summoned or deported by the Kuwaiti government rather than seeing Filipinos going home in caskets.

Maltreatment of OFWs specially the domestic helpers has to stop! This is just too much already.
