00:00 A few months ago, his family couldn't contact an OFW in Saudi Arabia.
00:05 It was said that his boss was jealous of his daughter.
00:09 Paul Hernandez was contacted by GMA Regional TV.

00:14 November 14, 2023.
00:20 A message was sent to his family.
00:22 The 38-year-old domestic helper in Damam, Saudi Arabia, Divina Yap,
00:27 asked for help because of the danger that he would face there.
00:30 Divina told them that her boss was jealous of her.
00:34 My brother said that he was jealous because he was being given a man's meal
00:40 and he wasn't being fed by his wife because her husband was still sleeping.
00:43 When he arrived, he was angry with the woman.
00:46 Since then, they haven't heard from Divina and she hasn't been contacted.
00:51 The last they heard was that her boss took her to Mecca.
00:55 They said that they would just go on vacation with the woman's mother for two weeks.
00:58 After two weeks, they returned to Damam.
01:00 I just downloaded 200 weekly so that she can message us via text.
01:05 Even if it's just through text, we would still be happy.
01:07 Divina's mother didn't expect that the desire to give her family a good life would be the cause of the problem.
01:14 My son is sick. He's a good boy.
01:17 He's hardworking and kind. He's elegant.
01:20 I thought that he wouldn't be able to go there.
01:22 I thought that he was being taken away.
01:28 They contacted Divina's agency but they didn't give any information.
01:33 They said that they would just go on vacation with the woman's mother.
01:38 We asked Divina's agency to let us know but they haven't replied to our texts and calls.
01:44 Divina's family also contacted the Department of Migrant Workers or DMW.
01:49 We also asked the DMW to issue a statement regarding this case.
