Peri,

Although there is possibly some base to your comments. I would say that the stories of abuse that come to trial in places such as Hong Kong are probably show just the tip of the iceberg for places such as Jordan and Saudi... One has to remember that in the ME the Filipinos are far from home, have really no legal redress and are kept in such closed quarters that there is every opportunity for the employers to abuse them for any reason at all.
