G.R. Nos. 182978-79 11 of 19 http://sc.judiciary.gov.ph/jurisprudence/2009/april2009/182978-79.htm would naturally demand and seek an investigation of her case, Rajab and Becmen chose to take the most convenient route to avoiding and denying liability, by casting Jasmins fate to oblivion. It appears from the record that to this date, no follow up of Jasmins case was ever made at all by them, and they seem to have expediently treated Jasmins death as a closed case. Despite being given the lead via the autopsy and toxicology reports of the Philippine authorities, they failed and refused to act and pursue justice for Jasmins sake and to restore honor to her name. Indeed, their nonchalant and uncaring attitude may be seen from how Jasmins remains were repatriated. No official representative from Rajab or Becmen was kind enough to make personal representations with Jasmins parents, if only to extend their condolences or sympathies; instead, a mere colleague, nurse Jessie Fajardo, was designated to accompany Jasmins body home. Of all lifes tragedies, the death of ones own child must be the most painful for a parent. Not knowing why or how Jasmins life was snuffed out makes the pain doubly unbearable for Jasmins parents, and further aggravated by Rajab, Becmen, and White Falcons baseless insistence and accusation that it was a self-inflicted death, a mortal sin by any religious standard. Thus we categorically hold, based on the evidence; the actual experiences of our OFWs; and the resilient and courageous spirit of the Filipina that transcends the vilest desecration of her physical self, that Jasmin did not commit suicide but a victim of murderous aggression. Rajab, Becmen, and White Falcons indifference to Jasmins case has caused unfathomable pain and suffering upon her parents. They have turned away from their moral obligation, as employer and recruiter and as entities laden with social and civic obligations in society, to pursue justice for and in behalf of Jasmin, her parents and those she left behind. Possessed with the resources to determine the truth and to pursue justice, they chose to stand idly for the sake of convenience and in order that they may avoid pecuniary liability, turning a blind eye to the Philippine authorities autopsy and toxicology reports instead of taking action upon them as leads in pursuing justice for Jasmins death. They have placed their own financial and corporate interests above their moral and social obligations, and chose to secure and insulate themselves from the perceived responsibility of having to answer for and indemnify Jasmins heirs for her death.
