Asylum seeker umamin sa 13 panloloob at pagnanakaw

 

Umamin sa 13 beses na panloloob at pagnanakaw sa loob ng dalawang buwan noong 2022 ang isang Pilipinong asylum seeker sa pagdinig ng District Court na ginawa kanina sa Tsuen Wan Courthouse.

Itinakda ni Judge Gary Lam sa Nov. 10 ang pagbaba ng sentensiya ni Jefrey Quiatchon, 36. Inutos rin niya na ibalik sa kulungan si Quiatchon, na nakakulong mula pa noong Marso dahil hindi pinayagang magpiyansa, para doon hintayin ang hatol.

Base sa imbestigasyon, nakita si Quiatchon sa lahat ng CCTV video na nakalap ng mga pulis sa 13 lugar na nilooban niya mula June 7, 2022 hanggang July 4, 2022, na karamihan ay mga restaurant sa Mongkok, Yau Ma Tei, Sham Shui Po at Cheung Sha Wan. Malapit ang mga ito sa kanyang tirahan sa Jordan.

Sa bawat panloloob na ginawa niya ay nakunan siya sa CCTV na nakasuot ng surgical mask habang hinahablot ang cash box sa mga restaurant na may lamang pera, tablet, mga mobile phone at pati mga sulat.

Nang isagawa niya ang panloloob, mayroon din siyang suspendidong sentensiya para sa isa pang kasalanan. Hindi nabanggit sa pagdinig ang detalye ng kasong ito.

Sa paghiling ng mas magaang na parusa para kay Quiatchon, sinabi ng abugado niyang si Peter Tracy sa korte na sa lahat ng ginawa niyang panloloob ay  pumasok siya nang palihim at hindi nanira ng pinto, o nanakit at tumakot ng kahit sino.

PINDUTIN DITO!

Hindi rin siya kumita ng malaki, dahil naibenta lang niya ang mga ninakaw sa mababang halaga, dagdag ni Tracy.

Pero nang mabanggit niya ang pagiging asylum seeker ni Quiatchon bilang kaisa-isang pampabigat sa kaso nito, dinagdagan ito ni Judge Lam: “Committing serial burglary is also an aggravating factor (Ang panloloob nang sunod-sunod ay pampabigat din).”

Nagsimula ang panloloob ni Quiatchon noong June 7 sa isang Indian restaurant sa Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon. Isang tablet computer ang natangay daw niya.

Sinundan ito ng isa pang panloloob noong June 9 sa isang Chinese restaurant sa Mong Kok Road, Mong Kok, kung saan isang mobile phone naman ang natangay.

Ang ikatlo ay nangyari noong June 14, nang pasukin ni Quiatchon ang isang coffee shop sa Cheung Sha Wan Road sa Sham Shui Po, at tinangay ang isang mobile phone.

Noong araw ding iyon, pinasok niya ang isang noodle shop sa Yu Chau Street sa Mong Kok, at nagnakaw ng isang mobile phone.

Ang ikalimang kaso ay noong June 18, kung saan pinasok niya ang isang Shanghainese restaurant sa Shek Kip Mei St. sa Sham Shui Po at nagnakaw ng $3,000 at isang apron.

Kinabukasan, pumasok naman siya sa isang Vietnamese restaurant sa Fuk Wa St., Sham Shui Po, at tumangay ng isang mobile phone.

Isa namang café-restaurant ang pinasok niya noong June 15 sa Camp St., Cheung Sha wan, at kinuha niya ang isang mobile phone.

Sa ikawalong kaso ay pinasok niya ang isang dumpling shop sa Lai Chi Kok Road, Mong Kok, noong June 25 at tumangay ng dalawang mobile phone.

Nasundan ito ng pagpasok sa isa pang restaurant sa Tung Choi St., Mong Kok, noong July 1 at pagtangay sa isang tablet computer.

Ang ika-sampung kaso ay panloloob sa isang Chinese restaurant sa Lai Chi Kok Rd., Mong Kok, noong araw ding iyon at pagtangay sa isang mobile phone at isang kahon na may lamang isang batong jade.

Balik si Quiatchon sa panloloob kinabukasan, July 5, nang pasukin naman niya ang isang noodle shop sa Fuk Wing St, Mong Kok, at kunin ang isang tablet computer at isang cash box na may lamang $1,000.

Ang ika-12 ginawa ni Quiatchon ay panloloob noong araw ding iyon sa isa pang noodle shop sa Kweilin St., Mong Kok, at pagkuha sa isang mobile phone.

Sa ika-13 sakdal sa kanya ay ang pagnanakaw naman niya ng tatlong liham mula sa Fung Wing Street, Sham Shui Po ang sangkot. Ang unang liham ay pag-aari ng isang Iris Sun, ang pangalawa ay kay Chen Hun-yan, at ang pangatlo ay kay Tam Ping-sun.

Pilipinang DH, kulong ng 7 linggo dahil sa ilegal na trabaho

Nasentensyahan ang Pilipina sa Shatin Court

Isang Pilipinang domestic helper ang nahatulan ng pitong linggong pagkabilanggo kanina sa Shatin Court matapos siyang umamin na nagtrabaho nang ilegal.

Si Hazel Necesario, 36 taong gulang, ay sinampahan ng kaso ng Immigration Drpartment matapos siyang mahuli noong May 24 habang gumagawa ng iba’t ibang trabaho ("odd jobs") sa Hung Hom, apat na buwan matapos siyang mabigyan ng visa.

PINDUTIN DITO!

Ayon sa charge sheet, nabigyan ng visa si Necesario bilang domestic helper noong Jan. 7, base sa kontratang pinirmahan niya at kanyang amo na si Sherran Siu.

Ang pagtatrabaho sa kahit saan maliban sa amo, ay paglabag ng section 41 ng Immigration Ordinance, na nagtatakda ng parusang pagkabilanggo nang hanggang dalawang taon at multang aabot sa $100,000 para sa mga menor na kasong gaya nito.

Ang opisyal na tawag sa kaso niya ay “breach of condition of stay” o paglabag sa mga kondisyon sa pamamalagi sa Hong Kong Kong, na ibinigay ng Immigration.

Unang humarap si Necesario sa Fan Ling, kung saan isinampa ang kaso, pero kalaunan ay inilipat ito sa Shatin, na nakilala bilang korte para sa mga kasong may kinalaman sa Immigration Ordinance, at nauwi sa sala ni Deputy Magistrate Melvin Ho na siyang nagbigay ng parusa kay Necesario.

$500 fine, suspended sentence for stealing slippers

Both theft cases were heard at Fanling Court before the 2nd was transferred to District Court

A Filipina domestic helper who admitted stealing two pairs of slippers on two different occasions from her employer has been fined $500 and sentenced to 10 days in jail, suspended for 18 months.

V.P. Reyes, 36 years, was meted the punishment on Oct. 24, Tuesday, at Fan Ling Magistracy after she pleaded guilty to one count of theft.

Pindutin para sa detalye

The fine she was ordered to pay and was taken from her bail was smaller than the $600 value of the slippers stolen from Tsang Tsz Kit on June 1 and Sept. 17 this year, at house no 10F, Kau Lung Hang Lo Wai, Tai Wo Service Road East, Tai Po.

However, the cost to Reyes was far heavier, as she was dismissed from her job and because of her criminal conviction, would likely be barred from working in Hong Kong again.

PINDUTIN DITO!

Meanwhile, another Filipina who is charged with stealing nearly $300,000 worth of cash and 86 pieces of jewelry valued at about $250,000 from her employer, appeared at the District Court for the first time, also on Tuesday.

Merlyn Q. Bugtaoen, 32, was initially charged at Fan Ling Magistracy with stealing 10 bracelets, 9 bangles, 20 pendants, 31 rings, 13 necklaces, one necklace with pendant, one watch and one pair of earrings.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

She also allegedly stole cash in various denominations: $50,000 in HK dollars, 5,000 Thai Baht and $15,000 Taiwan dollar worth a total of $297,098, all belonging to Yiu Ching Heng.

The alleged thefts happened in Flat A, 1^st floor, Mee Fat Building at 34-48 Tai Wing Lane, Tai Po sometime in March 2022 until March 26, 2023.

She was supposed to have taken her plea during the hearing at the District Court but at the request of the prosecution the case was adjourned to December 28 this year.

Bugtaoen was returned to jail until the next hearing of her case.

Court upholds rule requiring dog bites reported to police

This Filipina whose finger was bitten by this dog is still looking for its owner
who did not report the case  to the police

 

The case against a Filipina and her employer whose dog had bitten someone, will push through after the court today rejected the argument of their lawyers that the charge filed against them violates their right against self-incrimination and to remain silent.

Aiza Tenorio, 34, and Stephanie Chong were issued a summons by the Eastern Court to appear on a charge of failing to report immediately to the nearest police station that a dog under their care had bitten a person last Nov. 30, 2022.

Pindutin para sa detalye

Such failure violates Section 24 of the Rabies Ordinance, which sets a penalty of $10,000 fine.

The complaint was filed by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department last May 30.

Their lawyers, taking turns to argue their point in a hearing today at the Eastern Court, said such a requirement to report violates the Bill of Rights and the Basic Law of Hong Kong.

PINDUTIN DITO!

Self-reporting opens themselves to further prosecution, they argued.

Besides, since Hong Kong faces no threat of a rabies outbreak, such a requirement is unnecessary, they added.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

But Deputy Magistrate Charles Kwok rejected the arguments, saying that a reading of the law shows that reporting a biting incident only requires information about the dog involved.

“There was no requirement to give particulars of the keeper of the animal,” he said, “just facts about the dog involved” such as whether the dog had been vaccinated against rabies and whether it had been implanted with microchip to establish its identity.

Pindutin dito

Therefore, he added, the rule does not impinge on the dog keepers’ right to silence or against incriminating themselves.

Magistrate Kwok thus adjourned the case for Nov. 16, during which the trial schedule will be set.

We were also scammed, say 24 Filipino migrants in HK and ME

Still photo from a video that lured the 24 OFWs to pay for their Norwegian dream 

Hot on the heels of the alleged student visa scam to Canada perpetrated on a group of Filipino domestic workers in Hong Kong, another group of Filipino migrants has come forward, claiming to have been duped into paying hard-earned money for non-existent jobs in Norway.

Of the 24 complainants, five are working in Hong Kong and the rest, in Dubai, Arab Emirates, Kuwait or Saudi Arabia. They all have receipts showing they each paid around 7,000 AEB or HK16,000 to Dubai-based Insider Migration Services (IMS) FZCO, for a total of HK384,000 or Php2.76 million.

Most of the complainants said they saw a Facebook post by IMS sometime in August last year which said the company, which is operating on a trade license issued by Dubai, could send Filipino housekeepers to Norway.

Pindutin para sa detalye

One of the Hong Kong applicants, Ana, said she contacted the number indicated in the Facebook advertisement and sent her CV as instructed. The very next day, she received an email from an IMS "consultant,"  Kathlyn Marcos, stating that her documents had already been forwarded to Norway and that their associates would liaise with employers there to secure her a post as a housekeeping attendant.

To initiate the supposed job-matching, Ana paid the 7000 AEB fee through Western Union to the general manager of IMS, Khalid Walid Almafouhd Naser, on September 25 last year. Naser allegedly assured her she could expect to be deployed to Norway after four to six months.

For the next eight months however, Ana said she was never interviewed by any potential employers in Norway and worse, IMS staff stopped responding to her emails.

PINDUTIN DITO!

On May 26 this year she followed up her application with the company, and instead of apologizing for or explaining the delay to her, she was warned that legal action would be taken against anyone who smeared the company’s name on social media.

On May 31, Ana tried to ask for a refund as she reportedly discovered that the job order sent to her by IMS was illegal as it had been altered.  However she was told that this was not possible as her documents had already been sent to an employer. The “Processing Department” of IMS also denied that the email sent to her had been edited. She could back out, but would not get her money back.

The next month, Ana sought help from the Philippine Consulate in Hong Kong to try and get her money back from IMS and those who claimed to be its staff, particularly Naser and Marcos. She also asked for help in getting those responsible for swindling her punished in accordance with law.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

Interviewed by The SUN, Ana said she and her fellow victims managed to hear of each other by chance. An email sent to them by IMS to celebrate an important Arab event was at the top of a thread where they were all asking about the jobs promised them in Norway.

“Ni isa po walang na interview,” Ana said (Not one of us got an interview with an employer). One year nang mahigit.” (It’s been more than a year already).

She added all of them tried all avenues to get their complaints heard, but ended up facing a blank wall each time.

Pindutin dito

Those who are in Dubai have sought help from the police, but were told that what they were complaining about was a trade dispute, and not a criminal matter, so they had no jurisdiction.

Ana and all those outside of the Emirates also tried to file a claim online with Dubai authorities, but were told they needed to be residents there to be heard.

As a last resort, the complainants are looking at the Philippine government to help raise the matter with UAE authorities so they could get relief.

Asked about their plea, Assistant Labor Attache Antonio Villafuerte said the Migrant Workers Office has already endorsed their case to the Department of Migrant Workers in the Philippines, but said the victims in Dubai should also go to the MWO there to ask for help and get their claims authenticated.

At the very least, Villafuerte said the DMW should know about what happened to them so it can immediately send out a warning to prevent other Filipino workers falling into the same trap.

Norway has a small number of job openings for Filipinos, but they are mostly coursed through employment agencies registered with the Philippine Overseas Employment Agency, which is now under DMW.

To be safe, Philippine authorities always advise Filipinos to apply for overseas jobs from the country, instead of doing “cross country” migration, or from another overseas destination, to protect them from unscrupulous agents.

Despite the advice, many Filipinos abroad still prefer to go to a third destination without going back to the country first, so as to avoid the long wait and the crippling expenses that often go with securing a better job elsewhere.

But as these complainants and many others who are clamoring for help now because they had been tricked into paying huge sums for non-existent jobs or opportunities, taking more caution and doing more research can go a long way toward avoiding many months, even years, of heartache and burst hopes.

Touch of Romance habang nasa Tamar Park

 

Caroline Blanco

Abot na sa four years na nagtatrabaho si Caroline Blanco dito. Sa edad niyang 36 ay wala pa sa isip niya na magkaroon ng nobyo ngunit palagi siyang tinutukso ng mga kaibigan.

Minsan nang magkayayaan sila ng mga kaibigan na magtungo sa isang bar sa Central ay napilitan siyang sumama. Nalanghap niya ang pabango na gamit ni Natalie at nasabi niyang nakakaakit ang halimuyak nito. Ipinakita nito ang bote na may pink color ang liquid sa loob at nabasa niyang ito ay Dream Love 1000 Attract your Man, sinabi nito na gawa ito sa England. Naikuwento pa ng kaibigan na ito ang dahilan kung bakit siya nakapagasawa ng Chinese at naging residente dito. Tinanong kung saan makakabili nito at sinabing sa Victory Supermarket sa World Wide Plaza sa halagang HK$88 lamang.

Sumunod na Linggo ay bumili siya nitong pabango at ginamit bago makipagkita sa kanilang tambayan sa Tamar Park. Habang nakaupo ay may katabi silang grupo ng mga Pinoy na kalalakihan at napansin niya na ang isa sa kanila ay panay ang ngiti sa kaniya. Kapagdaka'y lumapit ito at nagpakilala.  Napansin niyang nakangiti ng palihim ang mga kaibigan. Inalok nila na makijoin ito sa kanila at masaya itong nagpasalamat. Magkatabi silang nagusap at nasabi nito na ang mabango ang halimuyak ng gamit niya. Bago ito magpaalam iay hiningi ang kaniyang  number. Sumunod na mga day off ay palagi na silang magkasama

Nasabi ni Natalie na importanteng huwag mag over spray nitong pabango dahil sa sekswal na sangkap na very effective.

Magandang kutis at goals nakamit

Marites Sibayan: Before and After.

Kutis at katabaan ang problema ni Marites Sibayan. Curious siya sa mga may kutis artista kaya panay ang kanyang eksperimento. Katulad ng ibang Pinay, kayumanggi ang kutis noon ni Marites. Pangarap ang pumuti kaya sinunod ang payo ng kamaganak na gumamit ng upgraded Dream Love 1000 5 in 1 body essence lotion, gawa sa England.

Nang minsan na magkita sila sa Central ay ipinakita nito ang Sun Facebook page na may before and after photos ng isang Pinay na nakaranas ng magandang epekto ng nasabing imported lotion. Bumili siya nito sa Fiesta Mart sa Worldwide sa halagang HK$98 lamang.

Pagkauwi ay ginamit ni Marites ang lotion sa paraang pagpahid ng paikot sa mukha at paitaas sa buong katawan pagkatapos maligo ng maligamgam na tubig. Nagulat siya dahil after few weeks useage ay naalis ang pekas at dark spots sa kaniyang mukha. Lumambot, kuminis, pumuti at naging younger-looking ang kanyang balat. Ang dating 32 inches na baywang ay naging 29 inches na lamang.  Pati sa balakang ay nabawasan ng 2 inches at 1 inch naman sa mga braso. Hindi masidlan ang tuwa ni Marites sa malaking pagbabago na nangyari sa kanya dulot ng lotion. Kaya naman inirekomenda rin ito ni Marites sa mga kaibigan para maranasan din nila ang kahanga-hangang epekto ng lotion.
