DMW monitoring 5 Pinoy passengers in ill-fated flight
THE Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) is closely monitoring the condition of five Filipino passengers who sustained injuries when their Singapore-bound flight made an emergency landing in Bangkok, Thailand, yesterday afternoon, May 21, 2024.
The DMW’s Migrant Workers Office in Singapore (MWO-SG) said the Filipino passengers include a family of three with a two-year-old male infant. The infant’s mother is a registered overseas Filipino worker (OFW) staff nurse in the United Kingdom (UK). Her husband has no record as an OFW. The fourth passenger is a female Singapore-based OFW in the information technology sector, while the fifth Filipino passenger, a male, has no record also as an OFW.
They were taken to various hospitals in Bangkok and received medical treatment for injuries sustained from the emergency landing incident.
They underwent a series of medical and physical tests. Doctors will review the test results to evaluate their condition and determine further treatment.
All are in stable condition, including the infant. MWO-SG reports, however, that doctors are closely observing the condition of the Singapore-based OFW who suffered a neck fracture. Doctors describe her condition as “sensitive” but stable.
MWO-SG and the Philippine Embassy in Bangkok (PE-BKK) will monitor their condition until they are discharged and can continue their journey.
