Hello Lotters, So, this is everything that the Government did to favor china after the horrible hostage fiasco. we didn't went to the protest as china said so, same goes to the giving criminals even if we get in deep trouble with Taiwan, who happens to have disputes with China. No offense, i think people shouldn't allow themselves to be drug couriers or carriers. better yet, don't go to china for work if you risk with these three people. if they're scared with syndicates i think we should consider knowing the requirements and knowing the company before falling for a trap of a scam. I felt sad doing nothing like the rest. Government can't do a damn thing because of fear in Chinese govt. retaliation. another sad news, the risk of OFW being abroad. Your opinions are appreciated.

hi knight, "dura lex sed lex" ( no offence but I am not referring to a brand of glassware ), simply means "The law is harsh but it is the law", nothing all of us can do now but pray and respect the judicial system of the land where they perceive their law was broken. All of us just be careful before going there or taking offers of getting paid with anything that is too good to be true. Nothing our government or any other government can do as we have seen with other countries before, that country had been isolated for a long time so they pretty much do things their own way.Soory but that is just how things are

Hello Louievill, This is a Lesson to all Filipinos who liked to risk it for money, and I think it's not worth the risk. In my case, my relatives would even want me to marry some one out of having a GREEN CARD but unfortunately that's one thing i can't risk, I GOT FEELINGS TOO. i still think corruption and inability to vote right has always been the problem.

It is really a sad news. No matter how hard we try to negotiate, China is adamant in carrying out the executions. It is their law, so we cannot do anything about it. All we can do now is pray or continue to ask for mercy from the Chinese government.

Hello Greenpeas, I think am beginning to realize that they did broke the law, and probably they should have think it over before going into risk. Though I know the chinese had some special relations with the GOvernment, but probably it ain't worth knowing that they will continue it anyways

Well I guess that we just have to respect what China decides since it is their law that they have to follow and I guess they just want to be consistent with it. I guess we were given a very rare opportunity for the penalty to be delayed which I think is an opportunity to be grateful since many are not given that privilege at all.

Hello Rsa101, I think most people have forgotten how CHINA used to be a very strict Communist Nation and thought they have li-low. but if they did, they won't be on their situation now. unfortunately, small time business isn't that much good in our country.

Why other foreigners who are caught doing crimes here in our country are deployed to their homes and in there the trials goes. Why can't we demand such process huh?...so is this the kind of government ...changes that the PP1..PP2 walk on and shout on the streets...proud of fighting for...fighting for what?....(headache...ugh!!!!) okay...off...enough...don't want to comment in here...d*mn government calling OFWs new heroes...huh?...heroes?...really?...oh yeah...heroes die...so OFW's...go to foreign land and DIE. Sorry dear bro...can't control my temper...3 lives...3 families?...

Hello Sis Jaiho, The reality is that we can't do a damn thing about it. I know i did my best during the election and i got screwed. my brothers had their own bets, didn't believe me, i kinda lost my faith in this so called change. probably we have lost it some how and people just doesn't realize how whiners they have become. i mean, my relatives says a lot of bad things about the Philippines but am sure if US gets into huge trouble, they would whine about going home as well.
