The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) on Wednesday said it is looking into the possible liability of the recruitment agency of the 35-year-old overseas Filipino worker (OFW) who was found dead in Kuwait.
Interviewed on GMA News' Unang Balita, DMW Undersecretary Hans Leo Cacdac said the department is checking if the agency properly monitored victim Julleebee Ranara following her deployment to Kuwait.
"Ang isang nakikita ko ngayon dito, una 'yung kanilang pag-monitor. Kasi under the DMW rules, dapat merong monitoring at regular reporting ng kalagayan ng isang OFW lalo na yung mga OFW kasambahay sa kalagayan nila sa abroad," he added.
