Magandang gabi po sa inyong lahat. Nakatakas na sila Enrico at yung dalawa pa niyang kasamahan na si Ronnie at Reden. Yung dalawa pang kasamahan niya ay nagpaiwan pa at makikipag sapalaran na lang daw sila doon. Nasa Isang lugar sila ngayon at pakalat kalat lang gawa di sila tinanggap ng embassy natin doon gawa di raw sila ma-accomodate. Kaya napilitan silang maghanap kung saan sila pwedeng tumigil doon. Kapos na sila sa lahat gaya ng pagkain at tubig. Ang nakakatkot lang ay baka mahuli pa sila at makulong uli gaya ng nangyari noong Disyembre. Sana makauwi na lang sila dito ng maayos at sa lalong madaling panahon. Kung sakaling meron tayong member dito na may access or contacts sa itaas or doon mismo sa Riyadh embassy sana naman ay tulungan sila at kupkupin sa mga oras na ito. Lubos po akong nagpapasalamat ngayon pa lamang sa inyong lahat. Patuloy po natin silang panalangin na makaligtas sa kanilang sitwasyon ngayon.

They did ask for help from our government. Unfortunately, per elainemml (wife of ehnriko) - gawa di sila tinanggap ng embassy natin doon gawa di raw sila ma-accomodate.

Magandang gabi uli sa inyong lahat. Ang pinaka latest sa kanila ngayon ay nakikitira sila sa isang kaibigan na Pilipino doon. Nag aantay sila ng tulong na manggagaling sa Gobernador doon. Yun na lamang sa ngayon ang pinaka inaasahan nilang tulong at pag asang makauwi kung sila ay matutulungan ng Gobernador doon. Malaking tulong ang pinadala sa kanilang pera ngayong araw na ito na galing sa mga miyembro natin dito sa tsikot (1,004.57 riyal). Ito ay gagamitin nila sa kanilang pagkain at sa pang araw araw nilang pangangailangan habang sila ay nandoon pa at di pa mabigyan ng sapat na tulong. Mula sa asawa ko at sa kanyang mga kasamahan doon ay taos puso po silang nagpapasalamat sa lahat ng walang sawang natulong po sa kanila at sa pag tugon sa kanilang mga pangangailangan. Tunay po na hinahangad namin ang kanilang kaligtasan at madaliang pag uwi dito sa ating bansa. Sana po ay patuloy nyo kaming samahan sa Panalangin na maging maayos po ang lahat sa tulong ng ating Dios na makapangyarihan sa lahat.

Hello Everyone,

This is to inform all of you that I am back home safely now... and I want to express my gratitude to all of you who have been with me in spirit during my darker days.

It is indeed a miracle that has saved me and in that miracle all of you are in it. All of you who were here for us. I really cannot thank you enough.

I also would like to thank the Tsikoteers in Saudi, who has been monitoring me there almost everyday. They have made me feel that God truly cared.

My crucible is almost over... this incident has left a permanent scar upon my spirit... It has done damage to my life here in the Philippines as well.... and I blame it all to what happened.

I know for a fact that adversities like these are meant only to make us stronger everytime we come out of it as a survivor.

Surviving is not really the big deal... it's how I survived.

I am still not in the full liberty of disclosing my story for the time being. All I can say is that it was a perfectly planned escape (If I may call it that way). Otherwise... I will still be trapped in that situation.

Wala na nga akong maipadala sa pamilya ko for more than 6 months... wala pa ako physically for them. Ano na lang ang mangyayari sa pamilya ko?... How they survived - I have no idea. But I made a promise to myself na hindi ko iiwanan ang mga kasama ko hanggat kailangan nila ako doon. At any rate, with the help of some people whom I would consider... genuine people. We were able to defeat the enemy right in his own game... and in his own battlefield.

This has also made me feel the moment I set foot in NAIA - Philippine grounds last Good Friday that a part of me has died. It is the part of me that is looking for greener pastures elsewhere... it died in that cross - the cross I bear while I was away.

I have made a personal decision that Friday - to never be another mans slave ever - again.

I am not going to look for another job again.

I was paid only a months salary plus a plane ticket to go back. I accepted the offer since under the law - I wasn't really entitled to receive anything due to the fact that I only hold a business visit visa. (upon whose fault it was is no longer significant).

With this meager amount... I will must survive for a month - and uphold my family's wellbeing, while I establish a lifeline to address my immediate needs as well as sustain my long term needs.

The Saudis think that by holding my money, they will be able to hold me to stay with them longer. They probably thought I am a mule and by tying a carrot on a pole and hanging it in front of me -I will continue to be subject to their whims.

He can keep my money... I prefer the sweet taste of Freedom.

Again - I must express my thanks to each and everyone of you who cared, who shared, who comforted, who gave thought, who wept, who prayed, who cared and who are now cheering for this success story. It is not my success story... it is ours.. all of you included.

Maraming Maraming Maraming Salamat sa inyong lahat. May God Bless your good hearts and guide you always to be a blessing to those who are in need as you are always blessed everyday.

I will look forward in thanking each one of you personally given the chance.

I am therefore officially moving this thread to be closed.

...And my doors and windows for new friends is now open.

Yours sincerely,


enrico "jing" salgado luga
