Pinay in Dubai raped, jailed for 4 mo. now faces deportation
An 18-year-old Filipino waitress in Dubai who was raped by her Tunisian supervisor in August faces deportation after spending almost four months in jail.
Rowena (not her real name) ended up in jail when she reported the rape to the police. She found out later that her abuser had gone to the police ahead of her and reported that she was mauled by fellow Filipinos.
Rowena found herself charged with having an illicit affair with her Tunisian supervisor, drinking and giving false statements. Late last month, she was found guilty of these offenses, for which she was sentenced to three months in jail.
Pinoy doctor in Pennsylvania figthing deportation
A Pa. doctor and his wife are fighting deportation to the Philippines after more than 20 years in the US. The story of the Servanos started when they were sweethearts in the Philippines. After he graduated from medical school in 1979, Pedro Servano went often into remote areas to see patients, and Salvacion, a nurse, sometimes accompanied him.
While they were waiting to receive visas to the U.S., her father told them people were talking about their trips together, so the two eloped and married in 1980. Salvacion came to the U.S. in 1982, and Pedro followed two years later. He practiced medicine in Philadelphia, and she continued nursing. They had a formal marriage ceremony in 1987.
They moved to California to be close to Salvacion’s family, and in 1990 they applied for U.S. citizenship. During the process, an immigration official accused them of having misrepresented their marital status.

Pinoy Blogger need your help!
Pinoy problogger Abe Olandres is stepping down as Blog Herald editor due to a lawsuit. I was reading J. Angelo Racoma’s blog late yesterday and found a few details about the root of the problem as described by Abe.
I run a fairly small start-up web hosting here in the Philippines. One of our former clients runs a forum that we used to host. Several members of that forum were throwing vindictives against a their former employer. That employer sent us a demand letter thru their law firm demanding that we terminate the site or be charged with libel as well. The client moved out from us the following day. However, the employer/complainant has now filed several libel law suits against us claiming that we are the owner of the domain and the operator of the site. The site is still up and running though hosted somewhere else, the domain was also transferred away from us. Still, the complainant is alleging we should have enforced some sort of regulations or control over the content when it was still with us.
Apparently, all they wanted is money and this case is just of one of their many business gigs.
A couple readers of Blog Herald suggested to setup a legal fund for Abe just to ease a little bit the financial burden he’s having right now and J. Angelo initiated ways to contribute to this fund thru PayPal or Xoom.
We’ve set up a Xoom link where you can send in funds: www.xoom.com/pay/26999757 . Xoom accepts any amount from $25 to $2,500. For smaller amounts, you can send paypal to theblogherald (at) gmail (dot) com.
