House urged to probe OFW cadaver mix-up in Kuwait
Lawmakers have filed House Resolution 2213 seeking a congressional inquiry into the mistaken repatriation of the remains of OFW Jenny Alvarado from Kuwait.
Alvarado passed away in Kuwait on January 2 due to coal suffocation.
Her family was informed of her death and repatriation scheduled for January 10.
Upon receiving the casket, Alvarado's children discovered the remains were not their mother's; the body initially repatriated was identified as Nepali.
The resolution highlights the alleged failure of OWWA, DMW, and the NBI representatives to provide immediate explanations and conduct a thorough investigation for the grieving family.
Gabriela Party List Representative Arlene Brosas urged the House Committee on Overseas Workers Affairs to investigate the steps taken by government agencies.
