DMW to aid OFW detained over case of couple found dead under bed
THE Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) assures it will provide assistance to an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) arrested and detained by Japanese authorities in connection with the case of a Japanese couple whose bodies were found under their home in Tokyo last week.
“As we condole with the families of the deceased Japanese couple, we assure our kababayan and his family of our utmost assistance in close coordination with Ambassador Milen Garcia and the PHL Embassy in Tokyo,” DMW Officer-in-Charge Hans Leo J. Cacdac said.
Cacdac made the assurance after receiving a report from the DMW-Migrant Workers Office in Tokyo (MWO-Tokyo) regarding the arrest and detention of the male OFW.
Cacdac also directed MWO-Tokyo to meet with him to ascertain his condition and determine any immediate needs he may require.
MWO-Tokyo was also instructed by OIC Cacdac to ensure more than adequate legal assistance to the detained OFW.
The DMW will issue further information on this matter as necessary
