“Our call for an investigation is premised on the conflicting reports we have received. OWWA official has been quoted confirming that the unnamed OFW died in Syria under the care of OWWA as she is about to be sent home, while fellow OFW repatriate named Lorelie Cortez, 37, said, as quoted on news reports, that immigration officials in Abu Dhabi left the Filipino woman under her care,” said John Leonard Monterona, Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator.Work in Singapore
