A shocking News has bought the nation into mourning, A Domestic Filipina maid identified by Foreign Affairs Secretary Esteban Conejos as Jenifer Bidoya helper who was found guilty by the Saudi Court was beheaded yesterday in Jeddah.

The Execution was done due to the reason that the family of the slain Arab national did not agree for any clemency, and the beheading was executed because the family of the Saudi National insists on their right of quisas as per sharia law.

Even if the President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo wrote two letters to King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, on December 6, 2007 and another on July 7, 2008 requesting clemency the King cannot do anything since the family of the victim is the final decision as per the law.

There are other OFW detained in Saudi Arabia and also found guilty. Family of those detained employee are now thinking that there is a possibility that their family may face the same faith.

I just hope that the Philippine Governement will continuie to try to save those convicted by Saudi Court.
