ICYMI: Senator Robin Padilla got emotional while stressing that abusing OFWs is not part of Islam teachings.
“Katunayan, ang turo po sa amin ng Propetang Mohammad, kailanman kahit sinong tao dapat tratuhin mong pantay-pantay lalo na po ang tinatawag nating servants, kasambahay, katulong. Sila po ay pinoproteksyunan ng Islam,” he added.
Padilla, whose Muslim name is Abdul Aziz, apologized to Filipinos for the abuses committed by the said nations. “Intindihin ninyo, patawarin ninyo po kami sa kagagawan ng aming mga kapatid kung sila ay talagang karumal-dumal po. Gusto ko lang linawin na wala itong kinalaman sa Islam,” he said. The senator urged Tulfo to help OFWs prepare for their work abroad through basic education of the language and culture of the host nation.Padilla likewise pushed for the punishment of individuals who are proven to neglect OFWs.
