The Philippine Embassy in Türkiye is processing the repatriation of the remains of one of two Filipinos who died in the 7.8-magnitude earthquake on February 6 that badly hit the country and neighboring Syria.
“As requested by the daughter and with consent of the husband, the Embassy is arranging the immediate repatriation of the body of Wilma Abulad Tezcan, an OFW whose identity was previously reported by the media,” the embassy said in a statement.
“For our kababayan married to a Turkish, her family in the Philippines is seeking consent from her husband, regarding the treatment of her human remains,” it added.
“We continue to tirelessly reach out to as many Filipinos as possible and acknowledge the support of the local Filipino community leaders and their network,” the embassy said. “The team will continue to exhaust all efforts to account for Filipinos in affected regions,” it added.
