DUBAI: Two illegally overstaying youngsters whose parents were jailed in November over unpaid debts say their only wish is to spend Christmas with them and to be given another chance.
The Dubai-based Filipino parents were arrested on the night of November 16 after being on the run from creditors, said their 21-year-old son Lendell B.
Both Lendell, and his sister Lara, 16, whose residence visas expired in May 2009, following the expiry of their father’s residence visa, completed their grade school years at St. Mary’s Catholic High School in Dubai.
The siblings have not gone back home since 2006.
