This is another gruesome death of an overseas Filipino worker after Joanna Demafelis. What's so shocking about this is that, according to the report, a cucumber was found inserted inside the private part of the victim. The death is after the government of the Philippines and Kuwait signed a memorandum of understanding ensuring the welfare and safety of every OFW deployed in the Gulf state.

A Filipino household worker has died at the hands of her employer in Kuwait – reportedly black and blue and with a “cucumber” inside her private part, according to a statement by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).

“Her body bore various contusions and hematoma, with a ‘cucumber’ inside her private part,” Bello said.
The 47-year-old Filipina, identified as Constancia Lago Dayag, from Agadanan, Isabela, suffered various contusions and hematoma. She was later pronounced dead and doctors found a “cucumber” inside her private part.
The Filipina was deployed as a household service worker in January 2016 to Kuwait and returned in 2018 as a Balik-Manggagawa on a second contract with her Kuwaiti employer, according to DFA.
The Philippine-Kuwait relations became in turmoil when the news of OFW Joanna Demafelis, a woman who was found dead inside a freezer inside her employers flat, triggered public outcry.
The two governments then made arrangements to create a Memorandum of Understanding to ensure that Filipino workers’ rights are protected.
Bello has expressed his deep sympathy for the death of the OFW and condemned the gruesome killing.
