MANILA — The Department of Migrant Workers on Monday condemned the death of a Kuwait-based Filipino worker, who was reportedly found burned in a desert.
The agency said Migrant Workers Secretary Susan Ople has talked to the family of 35-year-old OFW Jullebee Ranara, whose death was reported by Kuwaiti media over the weekend.
According to reports, Ranara’s burned remains were found in the desert late Sunday. Kuwaiti authorities have arrested the son of her employer, the DMW said.
The DMW said it was waiting for the official report from Kuwaiti authorities and is working closely with the Department of Foreign Affairs.
