DAVAO CITY — The ground would shake, like when there?s an earthquake, each time the bombs fell. Miko Corido, a thirty-something Davaoeno who worked as a domestic helper in Lebanon, was traumatized and bruised, literally, by the experienced.
Delia Torocio, 24 and also a maid in Lebanon, described the bombings the same way. ?I could not sleep for fear that I might die anytime,? she said in a forum organized last week by the Center for Overseas Workers, a nonprofit group based in this city. When Delia?s boss fled to Egypt, she was left in the care of her employer?s mother.
