Filed under Kabayan Central
Two Filipinos in the United Arab of Emirates (UAE) got two months jail sentence because of liquor drinking. The two Kabayans got caught drinking outside their accomadation in Sharjah, UAE.
Valeriano took the opportunity to warn other Filipinos in the UAE to avoid excessive drinking sprees so as not to get in trouble.
“I know that it is your way of enjoyment, but it is difficult for you to go against UAE laws against drunkenness. If arrested for such a crime, there are dire consequences not only on the person but on his employment as he can be deported after serving jail,” he said.
