After incurring a vehicular accident, a Pinay OFW in Jeddah was held by her own employer for not being able to settle an amount of 25 thousand Riyals (P 340,000.00) that was paid for her hospital bills.
Rhemz Makinay Panda, an OFW in Jeddah, was restricted to come back here in our country until she finally paid for the hospitalization bill her employer had paid first for her.
Based on her Facebook post, she was with her employer when the accident occur where she acquired a leg fracture that needs immediate operation. It was on July 13 when a metal was inserted in her legs.
After expressing her desire to come back home to fully recover, her employer disapproves and even required her to settle first the cost of her hospitalization.
Having that amount, she was already encouraged to work despite of her ill condition.
She seeks the help of the agency who hired her but after a month, they haven't arranged her departure yet.
The agency even promised her that a replacement will be sent in her aid, however, she still need to settle the amount required by her employer.
According to her post, she is worrying too on where to find food to eat as she only depends to a co-worker that is about to take a vacation this month.
