Philippines ambassador defends KGL company
KUWAIT: The outgoing Filipino Ambassador to Kuwait Ricardo Endaya hosted a press conference yesterday in defense of the KGL Company. "We want to clarify that KGL, one of the most respected companies in Kuwait that employs many Filipinos, is treating all our workers well. We have not received any formal complaints from our workers.
The ambassador was referring to Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago's allegation that around 50 Filipino workers from the company were sacked, and that they were now subsisting on leftovers of food obtained from the trash bins. "So she (the senator) proposed a solution, which is to investigate the alleged mistreatment of legislation. I want to clarify that KGL is not involved in the issue," Endaya said.
Commenting on the situation of Filipino domestic workers in Kuwait, Ambassador Endaya said that they tried to make all the necessary efforts to help them when they are involved in trouble. "We are very cooperative and very fair with the Filipinos living in Kuwait. We have won many cases of Filipinos in the local court," he said. During the conference, Ambassador Endaya presented a certain mistreated domestic worker who was allegedly defenestrated by a Kuwaiti family. Endaya said that the woman was 21
years old, and was working in Kuwait by disregarding minimum permissible age limit imposed by the government for overseas Filipino workers.
