Malacañang on Thursday expressed its sympathies to the family of the Filipino maid, who was executed in Saudi Arabia earlier this week, after being found guilty of murder. Presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo assured the public that the government did everything it could to save the 39-year-old Filipino, who was sentenced to death by the Saudi Supreme Judicial Council. ADVERTISEMENT“I would like to express our condolences to the bereaved family of the overseas Filipino worker (OFW) who has been executed,” Panelo said at a press briefing. The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) earlier announced the death of the Filipino, who was executed on Tuesday. “The department extends its deep condolences to the family of the Filipino household service worker,” the DFA said in a statement.
