Dondon: The Dragonfly Who Always Love Flying Now Cannot Fly
by This is a short review on Dondon’s plight. Dondon is one of the million OFWs presently in Saudi Arabia but on KSA Deathrow after he killed a Saudi national for "Self-defense". He was imprisoned here in Dammam Central Jail since August 15, 2000. He was sentenced to death by Beheading.

Self-defense or private defense according to Wikipedia is a countermeasure that involves defending oneself, one’s property or the well-being of another from physical harm. The use of the right of self-defense as a legal justification for the use of force in times of danger is available in many jurisdictions, but the interpretation varies widely. And to be acquitted of any kind of physical harm-related crime (such as assault, battery and homicide) using the self-defense justification, one must prove legal provocation which means one must prove that he was in a position where not using self-defense would most likely lead to death, serious injuries and property damage.
This article was written with permission from Dondon. For details please refer to the following links http://pruelpo.wordpress.com/2010/01/23/tutubing-lumipad-sa-piitan-ay-bumagsak/ and at http://pruelpo.wordpress.com/2010/01/.
Now he is appealing help from our Philippine Government to save him from Death Sentence. He uses social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Youtube aside from sending text messages and sending emails to friends to seek help.
Lumayo si Dondon sa sariling bansa upang sa ibayong dagat ay hanapin ang suwerti, ang kapalit ay mga sakripisyo sa buhay, relasyon, kinabukasan at marami pang iba.

Nakakainis na itong ilang mga Triond users na ito ha… halatang hindi nagbabasa… copy/paste na good post lang yata ang ginagawa….hmmmppp…
anyways, I hope the government can make an appeal this time di tulad nong nangyari don sa mga nabilanggo sa China. It’s a self-defense so he should be not on jail…He deserve to be free….
I don’t watch a lot of news these days Sir Paul so thanks for informing us…

Sana nga dude papaleng. wag matulad sa dating administrasyon na sa loob ng 10 years sa panunungkulan hindi binigyan ng totoong action ang kaso ni Dondon.

What is a OFW, pruelpo? I\’m sorry that I do not understand..

@Cassle – sorry too I forgot to define it OFW means “Overseas Filipino Worker” sometimes we mean it as “Over Financially Worried”. Here I used also “Dragonfly” in our Filipino language is “Tutubi”. We OFWs are like Dragonflies or “mga Tutubi”.
