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 deployment ban was only lifted the ban months later after the new Philippine-Kuwait Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) ensure that Filipino workers’ rights are protected was signed last year, 2018, which intensified the welfare protection of Filipino HSW in Kuwait.

Bello has expressed his deep sympathy for the death of the OFW and condemned the gruesome killing.
