'Pilgrims support House Resolution 611'
MUSLIMS ARE supporting a proposed probe on alleged fraudulent schemes in the annual Hajj in Saudi Arabia, saying, there had been persistent reports and complaints from pilgrims who paid huge amount of money for services and accommodations, but got less and worse, some had been left to fend for themselves in Mecca.
Muslim lawmakers Shernee Tambut, of the Kusug Tausug partylist group; and Samier Tan, of Sulu province, have filed House Resolution Number 611 directing the Committee of Muslim Affairs to conduct an investigation in aid of legislation in order to implement remedial measures that will put a quietus to the endless miseries being experienced by Muslim Filipino pilgrims.
