OFW’s Dreams Shattered By Mistaken Identity!
It really pays to have an uncommon sounding surnames nowadays because you will never know what the government do should you become an OFW in the near future.
Bakit kamo? O heto ang great example!!!
Inquirer reported that:
AUTHORITIES IN QATAR HAVE ARRESTED Jason Aguilar, the National Bureau of Investigation said yesterday.
But the bureau was quick to clarify that the man who was picked up by the police was not road rage suspect Jason Aguilar Ivler.
Ivler was tagged as the suspect in the death of Renato Victor Ebarle Jr., the son of a Malacañang official, over a traffic altercation last year.
“Apart from their names, their birth dates were also quite similar that’s why Qatar authorities thought that they were one and the same person. But Aguilar has already been cleared. He’s not the Jason whom we have been searching for,” said Magno.
Lawyer Angelito Magno, chief of the NBI Special Action Unit, said Aguilar, who has been working as a welder in Doha for only a month, was arrested on Dec. 31 because he was mistaken for Ivler.
Okay na lang sana para sa OFW na ito ang nangyari mga ka-barrio dahil it was a simple case of mistaken identity. Kaya lang:
But just the same, Magno said Aguilar would be deported to the Philippines today as ordered by Qatar authorities “to erase doubts and to further ascertain his identity.”
Is this stupidity or what?
Kawawa naman ang na-deport na OFW sa inyo. Biktima na nga, nawalan pa ng trabaho. Heller, naisip ba nila yung perwisyo na ginawa nila sa kawawang welder na ito?
Naha-highblood ako, promise. Grrr….
Teka lang ha? Matanong ko lang ang gobyerno:
Hindi naman eksaktong namesake ni Jason Vivar Aguilar (the deported OFW) yung totoong suspected criminal di ba? And besides, the surname of the real suspect is Ivler and not Aguilar, right? So, bakit ninyo pinayagang ma-deport?
Tapos heto lang masasabi ninyo sa interview:
In a phone conversation, Ebarle Sr. offered apologies to Aguilar for what he has gone through, which the OFW accepted.
“Masasabi natin sorry na lang sa mga pangyayari pero andyan kami tutulong sa iyo,” Ebarle Sr. said.
Ganun lang?!?

that’s it?! “SORRY NA LANG?!” ang putang yon! ~!@#$%
nag-ngi-ngit-ngit talaga ako sa news na to! napaka-engot naman nung nag-imbistiga! pucha oo! kung me Scotland Yard, etong mga imbestigador eh Smokey Trash naman.
hindi ko ma-take na wala man lang damages sa OFW considering na mahirap lang to at nangutang pa nang placement! susko! ano ba!
@Reynz – Based on my research may update na sa kawawang OFW welder. Heto lang ang sabi nung isang official ng ating embassy:
When contacted, a senior official with the embassy of Philippines here said that they came to know about the incident yesterday. “The embassy will take all the possible steps to clear the worker’s name from the black list of Qatar and other GCC before helping the Qatari authorities to enable him a smooth revisit to Qatar, if he really wants to return to Doha,” the official told The Peninsula.

Pero walang nabanggit as far as monetary damages is concern. Very sad.
Ganun na lang ‘yon?! OMG! I think the government agencies in charge should do something about this. Ibalik nila ang kabuhayan ng kawawang tao noh!
Mukhang ang nagyari kasi ay sinampolan ang kasong ito ni Jason to prove to the public that the local police agencies are working together with interpol. Tsk tsk
what can i say. boplaks naman kasi mga pulis dito. hinuli at dineport agad.
hindi ba sya pwedeng mag-reklamo sa embassy in manila? ano ang kanyang options? am sure di nya kayang kumuha nang lawyer, i-akusa ang lecheng mga yan
Kumuha na yata ng lawyer si Jason Vivar Aguilar kasi dahil sa katangahan ng mga humuli sa kanya eh na-black list siya ng tuluyan sa Qatar. Grabe, inosente yung tao biglang nagka-record.
Asar na asar din ako.
ganyan talaga sa Middle East matitigas at marurrupok ang mga kukote ng mga lokal dun parang di nabiyayaan ng logic or common sense
Naku Archon, sana naman bigyan nila ng consideration si Jason Vivar Aguilar. Sayang ang missed opportunities.
I doubt that will the case, I a friend in Dubai whose wife was detained for “harboring illegals”. They cleared her and after 8 years when she was pregnant and were about to fly back home, they detained her again for a few days in the airport.
All because her name was still on the record. Stupid people.
WHATTTT???
Nangyari na ito before! Ano ba yan, what the hell is happening to our government? Ganito na ba talaga ang sistema?
I pity the innocent victims…tsk..tsk…tsk…
Sad to say pero there is just no point in reasoning with the arabs. It’s not our government that’s at fault, it’s given na inutile talaga sila, kundi yung local government nila.
There are worse cases I encountered in my one year of staying there and sad but true marami ang di naibabalita and marami wala nagagawa ang gobyerno natin.
@Archon Digital – But our government should have investigate further before they deported Jason Vivar Aguilar. Hindi sana nangyari ang ganito.
Just imagine, hindi na kasalanan nung tao pero siya pa rin magsa-suffer not only today but in the future pa pala.
Wala silang respeto sa Pinoy duon kahit na taga consulate ka. Para sa mga bobong yan dahil me pera sila at me langis sila eh ganun sila at di kaya kumontra ng mga kalahi natin. Hence, inutile talaga ang gobyerno natin duon.
Kawawa naman ang mga Pinoy dun. Hay, what a nightmare!
Snow!
Paharbat ng post mong itetch at maipaskil dun sa bahay ko. Nakakapangmura ang ganitong KABOBOHAN ng mga government agencies dito.
Eto pa ang sabi sa GMA news:
Aguilar’s and Ivler’s fingerprints were “almost the same”, according to the NBI, and they are almost of the same age, 26 and 29, respectively. Nevertheless, the dark-skinned Aguilar’s physical features do not match Ivler’s.
MGA TANGA!!!! WALANG FINGERPRINT ANG MAGKAPAREHAS!!! NO FINGERPRINT IS THE SAME!!! AT TINGNAN NYO NGA ANG HITSURA NG PINAGHINALAAN NYO: ANG LAYOOOOOO!!!!!
ANG TATANGA TANGA TANGA TANGA NYOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Tapos dumidistansya kayo sa KAGAGUHAN na ito?!?! Aba! Asan ang sense of credibility and accountability ng mga agencies na nanguna dito?!?!
Dapat dyan, kasuhan, bayaran ng ga-milyon na danos perwisyo at ibalik sa trabaho yung kawawang OFW!!!
I concur Silver. Walang fingerprints na magkatulad. Kahit High School student nga alam ang logic na ito.
Simpleng simple. Si Ivler ay foreigner, si Vivar-Aguilar ay Pilipino. Puti yung isa, ang pinagkamalan naman ay moreno. Haaay, mapapakamot ka na lang ng ulo sa ibang noypi. Napapahiya sila kasi hindi nila mahuli ang notorious road rage suspect na yan
Di na bago ito. Marami na rin mga case of mistaken chuva na yan pati dito sa Dubai. Pero ang totoo eh, case of “up to the highest level of stupidity” ng mga locals yang mga yan. Kulang kasi sa sintudo kumon yang mga nilalang na yan ng GCC countries. Meron nga isang OFW dito sa Dubai, na nakulong dahil sa buto ng ubas na naiwan sa bulsa ng bagahe n’ya. Napagkamalan daw ng mga airport police na buto ng cannabis yung buto ng ubas. Eh according dun sa wife ng OFW na kasama nya that time, eh ginawa lang naman ng asawa nya na basurahan yung bulsa ng bag nya habang kumakain ng ubas. Kaya lang kesa aminin ng mga lecheng bo-arabs yung pagkakamali nila at baka mabisto na mga bobo sila, pinangatawanan na lang nila yung pagkakamali nila. Idiniin pa lalo sa kaso yung kawawang Noypi. Kaya nga ang advise ng mga Phil. Officials dito, kung kakain daw ng ubas, dapat seedless na lang (joke! Gawa gawa ko lang yung last na sentence, tutal wala rin namang naitutulong yung mga tao ng gobyerno natin dito at malamang yan lang din ang masasabi nila.)
