MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang is outraged over the death of another overseas Filipino worker (OFW) in Kuwait. “The Palace expresses its outrage over the death of Filipino worker, Jeanelyn Padernal Villavende, allegedly in the hands of her female employer who is now in the custody of Kuwaiti authorities,” presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo said in a statement. Paneo said the government condoled with the family and loved ones of Villavende. In May 2018, another domestic helper, Ma. Constancia Dayag, was found with body covered with bruises and with a “cucumber” inside her private part.
