I don't personally know the blogger but I am terribly saddened of what she and her friend had to experience with Indonesian Immigration Officers. It isn't fair that Filipinas are generally tagged as drug mules and are therefore subjected to humiliation and suspicions right away. I could understand where the authorities are coming from since I have to admit ( and it's humiliating) that other few Filipinos engage themselves to illegal activities like drugs. Despite that, there should be a reasonable cause before those Immigration officers acted up that way other than these two ladies being a Filipino. For Filipinos out there, let's boycott Indonesia until their authorities learn their lessons.
