00:18The case against the Kuwaiti suspect of the murder of Daphne Calaban is now being heard.
00:23The OFW who was found dead in the suspect's car and was suspected of hiding for two months
00:31is being targeted by the Labour Attaché and the Philippine Embassy in Kuwait.
00:35We expect that the criminal case will be cleared and the prime suspect will be punished
00:42so that we can use justice for our fellow countrymen.
00:46In October 2024, the last employer of Daphne Calaban was suspected of leaving her job.
00:54Now, the DMW is investigating if Daphne was followed by the recruitment agency in the Philippines
01:01as a mechanism to report the transfer of the employer and to verify if the transfer is safe.
01:08We will suspend the recruitment agency while we conduct the investigation.
01:14If the findings are wrong or suspicious, it's better to suspend it before we can send a visa.
01:23The GMA Integrated News is still trying to get hold of the recruitment agency.
01:29If it can be proven that the recruitment agency is missing,
01:33it can be removed from the list of agencies that can send workers to Kuwait.
01:39There was also another pre-departure briefing for all those going to Kuwait
01:44as well as a separate briefing that is required for all OFWs.
01:50We know them, we can contact them, we know their contact info, and we are currently monitoring them.
01:57In the past few years, several Filipinos have been killed in Kuwait,

02:15Constancia Lagodayag and Ginalin Villavende were also killed by their employers in Kuwait.
02:24They were also deployed for new hires in Kuwait.
