Video of husband hitting his wife in public goes viral

This incident caught on camera by a netizen named Richar Guinucay showing violence between a husband and wife is making buzz in social media.





It’s a hard pill to swallow, but it doesn’t make it any less true. Battery within married couples still exist to date, and perhaps has gotten even worse. More often than not, this is carried out in the privacy of their own homes, shut from the eyes and scrutiny of the public. Sometimes, however, violence between husbands and wives can happen before our very eyes right when we least expect it.





Take this incident caught by a certain Richard Guinucay on his camera phone.

Last Sunday, April 8, the concerned netizen took to Facebook to share a 1-minute clip of a husband beating his wife in public. While there was no context provided, it was pretty clear that the couple was arguing about the former’s jeepney.





In the video, the man was obviously forcing his wife to get inside the vehicle as they were in the middle of the road, but the latter refused. He then unleashed his anger and frustration on her through a series of slaps, punches, hair pulling, and a furious tongue lashing. At one point, the husband, who couldn’t be held back, even threw her mobile phone to the ground.





Soon enough, a traffic enforcer and a few onlookers approached the couple. Seeing that this was her opportunity to escape, the wife then immediately went inside a nearby taxi.





Even in the presence of a peace officer, the husband didn’t hold back from cursing at his wife, before driving away with his jeepney.

“P******** mo. Ikinahihiya mo ako sa trabaho ko. P******** mo talaga.”

Meanwhile, the man has since drawn flak from the public, with netizens arguing that they didn’t need context to know that what he did to his wife was wrong. Even Richard himself condemned the husband by encouraging others to share the clip for it to reach the authorities.

Sad Story: OFW in Kuwait seeks help after being denied salary for 14 years

We are not unaware of the suffering and sacrifice every OFW braves everyday of their lives outside the Philippines. They slave off far from their loved ones. Their only solace remains in the fact that at least, they are able to effectively provide for their loved ones back at home.

Corazon Uyaw, an OFW in Kuwait, surely had these things in mind when she flew to the distant country, away from her family and friends. After 14 long years in Kuwait, she is finally coming home. However, what she allegedly experienced at the hands of her employers in Kuwait doesn’t make any of her sacrifices worth it.

See, according to Nanay Corazon, she got sent away by her employers without paying for her services over the past 14 years.

The domestic helper apparently asked for her passport as she wanted to come home already. She informed her employers that she is already experiencing numerous pains and aches on her body, which is why she would prefer to come back home.

The employers of this hardworking woman refused to hand over her passport at first. When she insisted to get her passport back, they reportedly told her they didn’t have the money to pay for her years in service.

Fortunately, Nanay Corazon was still able to book her flight back to the Philippines. It’s just really heartbreaking that she doesn’t even have a single penny to show for the whole time she struggled as an OFW in Kuwait.

A concerned citizen, Jack Ebaya, found Nanay Corazon and learned of her story. He very kindly helped Corazon hail a cab to the Embassy, where she hopes to seek assistance in her case. Luckily, she will be able to get the help she needs, and her employers be asked to pay the whole amount of the salary she is entitled to.

Netizens had mixed reactions upon hearing Nanay Corazon’s story.

OFW found dead inside a septic tank in South Korea

Filipinos are a hardworking and diligent people; willing to clock in a lot of overtime just to earn for their families. It is not an unusual thing to come across Filipinos working in different countries all around the world. According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the number of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW)  who worked abroad from April to September 2016 was estimated to be 2.2 million and the number is still growing. But it’s not all good news for the Pinoys working overseas. According to recent reports, an OFW’s remains were discovered in a septic tank in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.

According to a report by RMN via Definitely Filipino, an OFW went missing in South Korea for over two years. Mikaelangelo Claveria simply vanished off the face of the Earth and his family from Cabatuan, Iloilo haven’t heard from him since he disappeared.

The Hwasung Police believed that the remains, a person in in his 30’s, might possibly be Mr. Claveria. Reportedly, the septic tank where the body was discovered in was in the area where the OFW worked in.

Netizens expressed their sympathies in the comment section:

The authorities are currently investigating and are looking to coordinate with the man’s family to confirm the identity of the Filipino worker. In addition, the Hwasung Police believes that there may have been three suspects involved in the case.

As of today, the Philippine Embassy and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) are helping with the investigation.

Netizen warns public about fraud seller in an online shopping platform

We have witnessed how the internet revolutionized business process and retailing. From actual mall shopping, people are migrating to online shopping platforms such as LAZADA, Zalora, and Shopee, to name a few, wherein customers can easily browse and select products of their choice without moving physically. However, this hassle-free shopping has its own risks, as these platforms also serve as avenues for scammers wherein they could perform their tricks and schemes.

Recently, we saw a Facebook netizen who became a victim of an online shopping fraud. Lou Jose, a Facebook netizen and LAZADA user, detailed her shopping experience in the said platform to alert the public to online fraud sellers.

Lou said that she ordered a television unit and paid the item using her debit card. When the item was shipped, she was surprised not to see her television, but a mere USB cord and a letter indicating that her purchased appliance was already out of stock.

“Nagorder po ako sa Lazada ng Smart TV 32 inches Ship from Overseas Direct from China.. Ung payment tru debit Card. Dahil hindi pwede ang COD. tiwala naman ako sa lazada kaya nagorder ako at binayad ko tru debit Card. Bukod sa matagal Ang delivery, pagkadeliver ng item sa bahay. Sobreng maliit lang nareceive ko. Hinahanap ko sa nagdeliver ung TV. wala daw. Pagkabukas ko sa Sobre Isang USB cord lang ang laman at may Ksamang letter ng seller.”

The victim also extended her plight to the company itself, but to her dismay, the online shopping platform is not yet responding to her case.

“Nagrequest ako ng refund sa lazada dahil hindi naman diniliver ang order ko. pero ang lazada walang aksyon na ginagawa. Sana ireview ng lazada ang mga seller niya. dahil nakakasira sa company niyo ito. Malaking abala at sobramg stress ako sa pangyayari ito. Hindi ako titigil hanggat di ko narerefund ung pinaghirapan kong ipunin.”

Netizens dropped their personal experiences in the online platform, as well as suggestions to the victim in the comments section of the post.
