Bakit galit na galit ang musician at blogger na si Saab Magalona sa ahensiya ng yaya ni Baby Pancho. Alamin ang detalye sa article na ito.

Sumabog ang galit ni Saab Magalona kahapon, July 3 on social media matapos niyang isiwalat ang hindi makataong trato ng ahensiya ng yaya ng kanyang anak na si Baby Pancho.

Simula ni Saab: "Pancho’s yaya was a former OFW and today I asked her if she had a valid passport. She told me that her old agency was holding it and won’t release it unless she pays 5k for her medical exam. Called them to inquire and omg they were so rude!!! “Wag mo akong ine-english” levels!!"

Dito na sumiklab ang galit ni Saab. "I am shaking with anger and shock. They said kailangan daw bayaran yung medical exam na 3,350 (idk why nagbago yung amount??). They are such scammers. Any advice on what I should do? Pancho’s yaya is an angel and I can’t believe they took advantage.

"I am sure so many aspiring Overseas Filipino Workers are taken advantage of by a lot of agencies like this one!!!

"They made her loan 60k for a “placement fee” and they’re making her pay 11,880 monthly for 10 months. I can’t. We’ve been helping her with that loan cos wala na syang magagawa she signed a contract but now that I spoke to the agency, they are really awful people."

Marami naman ang nakisimpatiya kay Saab at nagpaabot na kanilang intensyon na tumulong. Isa sa mga ito ang kaibigan at TV personality na si Francesca Litton. "Isn’t it illegal to hold on to someone else’s passport?! I hope someone can enlighten you on which gov’t agency it should be reported to. And wow, classic “English shaming”."

Dagdag pa ni Litton: "Been trying to open the link but I don’t know if it’s my WiFi or it’s not a mobile site. So I think the gov’t agency should be DOLE? (Again, if anyone knows the proper forum, feel free to jump in.) https://www.dole.gov.ph/news/view/3760"

Sa mga sumunod na Twitter thread, nakatakda nang bumisita si Saab kasama ang Yaya sa tanggapan ng Department of Labor and Employment legal assistance office sa darating na Huwebes, July 5.
