She was not feeling well, but policemen and soldiers assigned to guard the area ignored her pleas for help, Marlyn quoted her daughter as saying.
Finally, Michelle was listed to depart on June 6 on a bus bound for Bicol and provided by the Office of Vice President Leni Robredo. Marlyn said the family was told only later that her daughter’s body was immediately buried at a public cemetery in Pasay.Police Lt. Col. Deanry Francisco, assistant chief of the Pasay police, denied accusations that his men did not help Michelle.
“I also had a call [from the hospital] saying she wasn’t tested for COVID-19. The hospital said she died of high fever and severe asthma,” Marlyn said. Camarines Sur Rep. Gabriel Bordado Jr. said he would request Pasay Mayor Imelda Calixto-Rubiano to allow the cremation of the body so her ashes could be given to her family.
Michelle was her family’s breadwinner. The oldest among nine children, she took care of her elderly parents, aside from providing for her children, aged 3 to 11 years old.Marlyn said that when Michelle learned that it was possible for her to go home because of eased travel restrictions in Metro Manila, she sought permission from her employer to leave. Her employer even brought her to the bus terminal in Cubao, Quezon City, on June 1.
Marlyn said they had received all of Michelle’s belongings, except for her last pay from her employer worth P6,000. “No one wanted this to happen. We are now taking steps to ensure that what happened to Michelle will never happen again,” Roque said.
