The discovery of the body comes on the heels of a debate on whether to extend the suspension of deployment of new OFWs to Kuwait or turn it into a permanent labor ban.

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) had given an ultimatum to the labor attache in Kuwait to investigate on the deaths of OFWs in the country.  Secretary Silvestre Bello III revealed that investigation is going on and they demand that truth is established to verify the death cases of the Filipino overseas workers.

There are about 250,000 Filipinos who works in Gulf countries and there is a growing number of abuses inflicted by their foreign employers. Despite that, OFWs still chose to work in Arab countries because of the higher salaries offered to them.

In fact, the remittances sent by OFWs greatly helped uplift the economy of the Philippines.
