GENERAL SANTOS
CITY- The family of an overseas Filipino
worker has cried foul over the mysterious death of a 38-year-old Filipina domestic helper who died in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia last December.
Fernando Rabaca said he
doubted on the medical report issued by Al-Liah General Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia that his wife,
Wendelyn died of undetermined cause.
He said a Filipina
colleague of his wife in Saudi informed their family that Wendelyn died on
December 9, 2019 without specific reason.
The Philippine
Consulate office in Jeddah reported that Wendelyn died of natural death.
He said their family
doubted on the conflicting reports made by the Saudi medical authorities and
the Philippine consulate office in Jeddah.
“They were trying to
cover up the circumstances regarding the death of my wife,’ said the
52-year-old Rabaca.
He said Wendelyn left for Saudi Arabia in
October 2017 to work as a domestic help
to eke out a living for their four children, the youngest of them is four years
old.
He could not believe that his wife was already placed inside
a casket when it arrived in the city last week.
Fernando, who works as a construction worker in their
hometown in Barangay Mulbuk, Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat, said Wendelyn could
have been abused before she died.
He said their family sought the help of the National Bureau
of Investigation to conduct an autopsy on the victim’s remains to determine the
cause of her death.
He added that the
employment contract of Wendelyn expired in October 2019 but her employer prevented
her from going home as they were still looking for her replacement.
He said Wendelyn’s
employment agency, Kingdom International Manpower Services did not bother to
facilitate the repatriation of his wife following the termination of her
employment contract in Saudi Arabia.
