A Filipina domestic helper is reportedly missing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia by her family.
She has been missing for three weeks after she complained her unfavorable working condition.
In a report on GMA News, the Filipina is identified as Bernadeth Navarro. Her husband Josue last spoke to her on November 27. She said that her salary has long been delayed and was not being fed by her employer.
After the call, she could no longer be reached by her family, even through online messaging.
“Sabi ng kasama, pinahuli na siya ng amo, pinakulong. Blinock ako ng kasama niya kasi baka raw masabit pa raw doon siya,” Josue told the report.
“Sa akin lang, baka kinulong lang ‘yun sa bahay nila tapos hindi pinakain,” he added.
The agency has not given any information or assistance to the family, saying that Bernadeth’s contract has already lapsed.
The family is asking the help of the Overseas Workers Welfare Association (OWWA).
The Philippine embassy vowed to help the family look for the whereabouts of the Filipina.
