Sarah Balabagan, the woman who is trending online after making revelations against GMA anchor Arnold Clavio.

Sarah Balabagan is a historic overseas Filipino worker (OFW) from 1994 to 1996 who was imprisoned in United Arab Emirates due to murder. She worked abroad at age 14 wherein she faked her documents and said that she is already 28-years-old.

According to Balabagan, she worked for a 67-year-old widower with four sons and she was confident that she is in good hands because her employers are both Muslims. However, she taught it wrong, as she was subjected of unsolicited sexual advances. Way back year 1994, Balabagan killed her employer by stabbing him for 34 times.

Accordingly, her employer tried to sexually assault her and what she did is self-defense. The court recognized she’s a rape victim but was convicted of murder.

Unfortunately, the second Islamic court has found no evidence that she was abused, thus, she was about to face death penalty by firing squad.

It sparked an international outcry and due to personal appeal for mercy by President of the United Arab Emirates, Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the family of the killed employer withdraw their demand of execution in exchange for a certain amount of money.
