Filipina Fitness Trainer Beaten Up by Kuwaiti Police

     A Filipina fitness trainer in Kuwait was mercilessly beaten up by a Kuwaiti policeman a few days ago. The victim’s name was withheld for fear of more punishment from the Kuwaiti authorities. The incident arose when the Filipina was renewing her work papers at a government office there and she fell into an argument with an Egyptian messenger. The Egyptian couldn’t speak any decent English and the Filipina couldn’t understand his Arabic so they both ended up disagreeing.

    The Egyptian messenger went out of the building and came back with a Kuwaiti policeman, who immediately tried to arrest the Filipina woman. The Filipina fitness trainer again tried to explain to the policeman that she was only renewing her work permit but the Kuwaiti policeman also cannot speak or understand English  so he dragged her by the hair. When the Filipina started screaming and struggling to free herself from the policeman, the cop started kicking, punching and beating her up to a bloody pulp!

      The Filipina ended up with two broken arms, a busted kneecap and heavily battered face and body. She is now hospitalized for her massive injuries in a Kuwaiti infirmary. Philippine Embassy and Labor officials are now investigating her case and promised to help her. I hope Philippine Embassy and Labor personnel would not force the victim to have sex or to force her into prostitution before they would extend any assistance as reported a few weeks earlier about the “fly for sex” scam in the Middle East.

     Well, this just shows that being a rich nation doesn’t necessarily mean that people there are well educated and cultured. The Philippines may be a third world country but at least most Filipinos are well-informed, educated and cultivated. Imagine, a cop dragging a woman by her hair and then beating her up? Isn’t that a  characteristic of a caveman? Yes, folks. They stink, they reek, they have no respect for women and they sodomize each other. I’d rather live in poverty here in the Philippines than settle in their rich but barbaric nation.
