DMW assists OFW whose daughter died in NAIA car-ramming incident

The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) is assisting an overseas Filipino worker (OFW), Danmark Soriano Masongsong, whose four-year-old daughter died in a car-ramming incident at NAIA Terminal 1 on May 4.

Masongsong, an assembly line operator in the Czech Republic, was about to depart after a vacation when an SUV plowed into the departure area, killing two people, including his daughter Malia.

DMW Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac pledged full government support, with President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. directing that the physical and mental health of affected OFWs be prioritized.

The department has activated a round-the-clock psychosocial counseling service for the family, assigning a dedicated team of nurses and social workers.

The OFW's wife remains in critical condition, while his mother is reportedly out of danger.

DMW and OWWA personnel attended the wake, and financial assistance is being prepared for Masongsong and his wife, who are former OFWs.
