House probe into OFW murder in Kuwait sought
January 08, 2025
|The Philippine Star
The murder of 35-year-old overseas Filipino worker (OFW) Dafnie Nacalaban in Kuwait has sparked calls for an investigation at the House of Representatives.
Rep. Rufus Rodriguez of the second district of Cagayan de Oro City authored Resolution 2151 calling for an inquiry, in aid of legislation, into how Nacalaban died under "suspicious circumstances."
Nacalaban's family hails from Cagayan de Oro City.
Rodriguez said Nacalaban had been employed in Kuwait as a household service worker since December 2019.
In October last year, Nacalaban's employer reported that she was missing.
Last December, the Department of Foreign Affairs announced that the OFW's decomposing body was found buried in the backyard of her employer in Saad Al-Abdullah, Jahra, Kuwait.
