00:00Suffocation or not being able to breathe due to carbon monoxide.
00:05This was the topic of the NBI that was killed by Jenny Alvarado, the OFW who is in Kuwait.
00:11And first, it was wrong to bring a boat back to the Philippines.
00:15After this, it was forgotten again that the deployment ban was implemented in Kuwait.
00:20Let's watch.
00:30Two days after the OFW found out that Jenny Alvarado was in Kuwait, she was brought back to the country.
00:36Her true body arrived and she was immediately put under an autopsy.
00:40Rodriguez Rizal, the victim, was already in a coma.
00:43According to his family, Jenny's boss told them that she died after being suffocated in a fire.
00:49Something that they did not believe.
00:52For them, there was foul play in the incident because Jenny's body was full of pus.
00:57On a planet hearing earlier, Jenny's relatives told the abuse that their mother experienced to her Kuwaiti employer.
01:03My mother said that she was being imprisoned in her own house when her boss left.
01:09Her food, she was being scolded for having too much food.
01:14We investigated the DMW and OFW and the DFA.
01:19There was a lot of foul play.
01:21She was being imprisoned.
01:24She was being scolded.
01:26She was not being fed properly.
01:28We will look at the criminal aspect of the case that we will file.
01:32In 2018, the total deployment ban on OFWs in Kuwait was implemented
01:37after the body of Joanna Dimafilis was found in the freezer of her boss in Kuwait.
01:42But this was delayed after there was an agreement with Kuwait that there should be additional protection for OFWs.
01:48They have the right to hide their passports and mobile phones.
01:52They have the right to food, housing, and health insurance of their employers.
01:57Despite this, the cases of abuse did not stop.
02:01In 2023, the body of Julie Binanara was found in the desert of Kuwait
02:05after she was killed and raped by her boss' daughter.
02:09The bilateral labor agreement in Kuwait was ordered to be studied again.
02:14The deployment in Kuwait was stopped by first-time overseas workers
02:17and it is still being implemented until now.
02:20Earlier, the Senate approved the implementation of the deployment ban.
02:24Even if I have to talk to the President about this, and I will.
02:29Let's go back to the ban.
02:31There is no new deployment.
02:34Stop.
02:35Those who are there now, who have contracts,
02:39if they want to renew their contracts, I'm okay with that.
02:44But there is no new deployment.
02:47Those who are still there, that's it.
02:50Then, they renew their contracts.
02:55Okay.
02:56The Department of Foreign Affairs is in favor of this.
02:59The government of Kuwait said that it is difficult to talk about additional police
03:02so that our OFWs can be more protected.
03:05But the deployment ban can be used as a bargaining chip.
03:08I believe that when you mentioned that the ban needs to be reinstated,
03:12that's one incentive for Kuwait to agree.
03:16If there are many requirements and briefings for our OFWs working in Kuwait,
03:20it should be the same for employers.
