00:00Because of the subsequent killings of two PINAY workers in Kuwait,
00:05the Senate has approved the implementation of the deployment ban there
00:09in the IOMJANA Foreign Affairs Department
00:12because of the lack of police presence to protect the OFWs.
00:18Maki Polido is on the case.
00:23In the backyard of a Kuwaiti family, the OFW's boat was found and Daphne was on the boat.
00:29Jenny Alvarado did not rest until she died
00:32from the smoke from the coal stove while she was inside a room without a window.
00:37These are just a few of the cases of OFWs who died in Kuwait.
00:41At the Senate hearing, Jenny Alvarado's children told
00:44the abuse that their mother experienced to her Kuwaiti employer.
00:59We investigated the DMW and OFWs and the DFA, the Angulong foul play.
01:06There it is, they were imprisoned, they were kicked, they were not fed properly.
01:12We will look at the criminal aspect of the case that we will file.
01:17Because of the repeated cases of abuse in Kuwait,
01:20Senator Rafi Tulfo approved the implementation of the deployment ban.
01:25Even if I have to talk to the president about this and I will.
01:55Okay.
02:25According to the Department of Foreign Affairs,
02:26regarding the return of the deployment ban,
02:29the government of Kuwait has a hard time talking about additional police
02:33so that our OFWs can be more protected.
02:35But the deployment ban can be used as a bargaining chip.
02:39I believe that when you mentioned that the ban needs to be reinstated,
02:43that's one incentive for Kuwait to agree.
02:46If there are many requirements and briefings for our countrymen working in Kuwait,
02:51it should be the same for the employers.
