DFA Vows To Give Justice To OFW In Saudi Who Was Forced To Drink Bleach By Her Employer

Based on information reaching the DFA, Mancilla suffered physical abuse regularly since working for her employer in 2016. She was also refused pay for her work. Consul General Edgar Badajos said the consulate "will regularly send representatives to Jizan to follow up her case with the police and to look into her condition." Badajos has also requested the Filipino community to keep an eye on the Mancilla. Badajos said Consulate officials have visited Mancilla and made representations with authorities in Jizan to make sure the appropriate charges were filed against her employer, who was later arrested by police. During his visit to Pahima Alagasi, the OFW who returned home four years after her Saudi employer poured boiling water on her, last Saturday, President Rodrigo Duterte reiterated that the government is doing everything it can to put an end to abuses against Filipino migrant workers in the Middle East. Duterte has ordered the ban on deployment of OFWs to Kuwait following reports of abuses, among them the killing of Joanna Demafelis, whose body was found inside a freezer in an unoccupied apartment last February.

Do you Know That Demafelis Employer Was Only Sentenced In Kuwait But They Are Still In Lebanon and Syria?

Just a few months ago, the body of Joanna Demafelis was found inside a freezer in an abandoned flat formerly occupied by her Lebanese and Syrian employers in Hawally, Kuwait. President Duterte declared total deployment ban for all overseas Filipino workers (OFW) in Kuwait. The ban could be lifted should the demands of the Philippine government would be met— one of which is bringing justice to Demafelis' death.
The murder suspects were already arrested, Nader Essam Assaf, the husband,  in Lebanon and Mouna Hassoun, the wife, is being detained in Damascus, Syria. The Kuwaiti government has already sentenced the couple of death penalty for the murder of the OFW. However, it is not yet clear if the couple will undergo trial in Kuwait or the Lebanese and Syrian government would comply for their extradition to Kuwait where the crime was committed.
