OVER 200,000 Filipino household service workers in Kuwait may be affected if the government imposes a new deployment restriction for Kuwait following the recently reported deaths of two Filipino workers, Dafnie Nacalaban and Jenny Alvardo, in the Gulf State country, according to the Department of Migrant Workers .
“If our assessment will reveal that the suspension of deployment will help, then we will implement it,” Cacdac said in Filipino during the event. Cacdac said they prime suspect in Nacalaban’s case already confessed to committing the crime. In the case of Alvarado, he said DMW is looking at the possibility of negligence of her employer, which resulted in her death. In February 2023, DMW implemented a partial deployment ban for newly hired Filipino HSWs going to Kuwait after the remains of Jullebee Ranara, a Filipino domestic worker, were found in a desert in the Gulf State.
