The president said that the government will be the one who will facilitate the repatriation of the OFWs in Kuwait who wanted to go out within 72 hours.
Mr. Duterte wants OFW’s who want to go home because of abuse to immediately leave Kuwait because every hour there is suffering and agony.
“So everyone who wants to come home, I said to Secretary Bello, those who want to be repatriated, with or without money, I will ask PAL and Cebu Pacific to provide the transportation,” Duterte said quoted by Inquirer.
Duterte pleaded the government of Kuwait properly treat the Filipino workers after the reports of a dead Pinay maid has found inside a freezer of an apartment.
