Political will in a sense, since no one in his right political mind would endanger his/her career by petitioning for a nameless person on the other side of the globe in which, that country is a "stable" trading partner of the Philippines, and if which it blooms to an international event, that country, in turn will cut ties with the Philippines and would cause a economic fall-out of the business sector concerned with that country. If not cut ties, enforce strict laws that would harm the products produced by Filipinos. Political power/power plays, the Philippines has no bargaining power against these countries who we deal with, and to further comment on this, I remember a comic strip in the Daily Inquirer, specifically Pugad Baboy commenting on an expats comment about a raped Filipina, "If you hadn't come here in the middle east, you wouldn't have been raped". And to think, a Filipino politician agreed with the sick comment of this expat! Sick it may sound but this is sad case of us Filipinos. ~~~~~~~~~ In my own opinion, the government lacks political will/power to petition against these injustices.

Sadly it seems that our government would rather be the biggest exporter of our people and not give our people enough information vital to the individuals decision to go forward with working in a condition that is really dangerous. Disclosure should play a major part in the recruiting process and as such the need to gather data on the destination country regarding their score on human trafficking, maltreatment, abuse (physical & emotional), witholding of passports, and non-payment of wages which in itself is a major labor criminal offense in civilized parts of the world.
