Remains of Kuwait OFW in body mix-up arrive in PH
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) confirmed the wrong cadaver was repatriated to the Philippines instead of OFW Jenny Alvarado, whose remains arrived on Thursday, January 16, 2025.
The repatriated body belonged to a victim from Nepal, and the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) has apologized for the error.
Jenny Alvarado's daughter, Angel, questioned the investigation into her mother's death due to the mix-up and inconsistencies, such as coal on her mother's hands.
The OFW's remains arrived in Parañaque City via Kuwait Airways flight KU 417 and will undergo an autopsy as requested by her family.
DMW Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac assured that the government is providing necessary assistance, including support for Alvarado's three minor children.
The Philippine government is coordinating with Kuwaiti authorities to monitor the investigation into the incident that led to Alvarado's death.
