MANILA, Philippines – The former employers of domestic worker Elvie Vergara denied before a Senate panel that they had abused her, claiming that her injuries, including her partial blindness, were allegedly either self-inflicted or caused by fighting with other household workers.
In denying the allegation, France claimed that Vergara’s wounds were either self-inflicted or caused by fighting with other house workers.Yung mga sugat niya po, tamad po siya maligo minsan. Minsan inaabot ng apat na araw, limang araw siya maligo.
Several Batangas Medical Center doctors were present at the hearing to present the findings.
