The story of Filipino workers abroad has become a story of dreadful turns of events that include diverse forms of distress and survival, of sacrifices and even fatality, in quest of a dream for a better and more improved life.

As per 2007 record, there are 23 cases of unsolved murders against Filipinos abroad since 2002. Mostly involved domestic workers who often toil in isolated and very vulnerable conditions. Filipinos demand for justice for them but sad to say most of the cases remain in memory.

What happened to the case of the late Pinay caregiver under LCP Jocelyn Dulnuan? Whose body full of stubbed and died, a murder happened in Canada. Dulnuan, a 27-year-old from the Philippines with family in Hong Kong, had been in Canada for less than a year when she was slain Oct. 1 inside a massive $15-million gated mansion on Doulton Place. Jocelyn is one of the many Filipinos who dream to land a caregining career in Canada, however her dream ended into a bloody tragedy.

Many OFW Murder Cases remain unsolved, countrymen crave for justice specially the loved ones left behind. How will the administration solve the injustices suffered by overseas Filipino workers? This remain a question, taking into consideration some countries involved shows rush humanitarian gestures in solving the problem and give justice to the victims.

Aside from mysterious deaths among fellow Filipinos, media reports have identified some OFWs on death row who are awaiting final decision on their cases. Some of them are already given pardon or sentence reduced. This people in death row face big risk in their lives and have felt no assurance.

But despite the realities of unsolved murder cases, it is more becoming obvious that still many Filipinos aspire to work abroad. Many still wishes to become a dollar earner, for the purpose of giiving their families a healthier life. But sad to say that “death in exchange of money” is what they get. Some go back to Philippines with mental illness and some are sick.

The fact is that, not all Filipinos abroad have become so lucky. Leaving Philippines and work abroad not always mean a fortune to everbody. What is more painfull many of our victims suffered brutalities. It’s too painfull to see them dead. Many still seek for justice, their cries remain unheared.
