UAE pardon fuels detainees’ hopes
The United Arab Emirates’ decision to pardon three Filipino prisoners, including two on death row, has sparked hope for the Philippines in seeking clemency for other detained overseas Filipino workers. Follow-ups were sent to the Department of Migrant Workers and the Department of Foreign Affairs, and OFW Partylist said on Saturday, regarding measures taken on OFWs on death row in Malaysia, China, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia and Japan. UAE President Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan granted President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s request made two months ago for a humanitarian pardon to the three convicted Pinoys. Death sentences for drug trafficking were meted out to the two detained, while the other was slapped with a 15-year jail sentence for slander. Filipinos interests protected The OFW Partylist, which has been working with the DMW and DFA to seek compassion from other countries, praised Mr. Marcos’ gesture, saying it highlighted the government’s efforts to look after the welfare of OFWs. “While there is still time, we will take all possible actions to save the lives of our OFWs,” OFW Partylist Rep. Marissa Magsino said in Filipino. “A life-threatening challenge our OFWs have to deal with while working in foreign countries is the risk of being criminally charged, whether with factual basis or merely fabricated, and face the possibility of incarceration or meted the death penalty as the penal laws of the host countries may impose if found guilty,” she said. “Hence, an assessment of the various assistance currently being provided by the government in their legal battles and to alleviate their conditions while in incarceration must be conducted, with the end in view of determining and implementing short- and long-term policies and effective programs of relevant assistance to save their lives and to serve justice,” she added. Last March, the DFA revealed that 83 overseas Filipinos are on death row, most of whose cases were final and executory. A total of 56 cases are in Malaysia, while six are in the United Arab Emirates, five in Saudi Arabia, and 15 in Bangladesh, China, Vietnam, the United States, Japan and Brunei. Mary Jane Veloso, who was supposed to be executed in April 2015 but was spared at the last minute to testify against the recruiters who had tricked her into smuggling heroin, is the most high-profile of the Filipinos awaiting execution.
