Red roses were Jullebee Ranara’s favorite.
As such, the bereaved family of the unfortunate domestic worker, whose grisly murder in Kuwait has sparked calls for another deployment ban to the oil-rich kingdom, has asked for the said red blooms to adorn her casket on the last night of her wake.
The secretary made the announcement at a virtual press conference, a day after the remains of Ranara arrived in the country. The latter’s gruesome murder—her body, burned after she was apparently raped and run over with a car, then burned, was found in the desert—has sparked widespread protests and a call to ban anew the deployment of domestics in Kuwait.
She added that the independent team will make an assessment on the overall performance and structure of the Migrant Workers Office , or what was known as the Philippine Overseas Labor Office, in Kuwait. She remarked that, following the Ranara family’s request, the DMW—through OWWA—has coordinated with the National Bureau of Investigation for an autopsy to be conducted on the OFW’s remains.MEANWHILE, Olalia confirmed that separate recruitment violation cases will be filed against Catalist International Manpower Services Co. and Platinum International Office for Recruitment of Domestic Manpower—the Philippine and Kuwaiti recruitment agencies, respectively, that facilitated Jullebee’s deployment.
Among the conditions Tulfo noted include requiring a tight screening process and psychiatric examination for employers in high-risk countries, as well as members of their household, to ensure that they are fit to hire OFWs in their homes.
