MANILA - The family of an overseas Filipino worker who died in Kuwait is crying for justice over what they say was the apparent mishandling of the remains of their loved one.
According to ABSCBN report, Teresa's son, Valerry, said the recruitment agency promised they would handle the remains of their mother properly. But what they saw shocked them.
"Nagulat po kami kasi hindi man lang naembalsamo. Sabi po nila maayos saka nasa kabaong pero nasa plastic lang, Tapos hindi man lang sinabi sa amin na tatanggalin ang organs niya."
Based on her medical certificate, Teresa Quedding, 38, who had been working in Kuwait for just 4 months, died of a heart attack last June 22. Despite the family's efforts, the body of the OFW was brought back to the country only on July 14, or almost a month after her death. The body of Teresa was already decomposing when it arrived in country, according to the funeral parlor the family contacted.
Ernesto, the victim's husband, said the family also believes there was foul play in the death of his wife as they saw choke marks on her corpse. He appealed to authorities to investigate the death of Teresa.
"Sana po matulungan kaming mabigyan ng hustisya at managot ang dapat managot sa nangyari," said the widower.
Valerry earlier posted the photo of his mother's corpse on Facebook hoping to call the attention of authorities.
But trolls on social media made fun of the photo of her mother and created memes.
Respect begets respect. We post photo on Facebook to seek help to authorities, viewers discretion is always advised.
