In a deeply saddening incident, a 32-year-old Filipina domestic worker, Marjorette Garcia, who was set to return home this month upon the expiry of her contract, has tragically passed away in Saudi Arabia. Her lifeless body was reportedly discovered with multiple stab wounds, but the precise cause of her death remains shrouded in uncertainty, according to Philippine authorities and local media reports.

As investigations are now in progress, high-ranking officials have called for a senate probe to ensure that justice will be served and to fortify the protection of migrant workers.

Marjorette Garcia, the domestic worker whose life was cut short, had last spoken with her family on September 14, as per a CNN report quoting her sister. Her sister mentioned, "She seemed happy."

However, concern set in as they lost contact with her the following day, and after three days of silence, worry took hold. The family began reaching out to her friends and turning to social media for answers.

It was only last week that the Garcia family received the heartbreaking news. They were shocked to learn that Marjorette had been in the morgue since September 27, as per media reports. Nevertheless, the circumstances surrounding the passing of this overseas Filipino worker (OFW) remained unclear.

"We were informed that she was stabbed, but the details remain unknown," another relative conveyed to local media in Filipino.

The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) in the Philippines confirmed Marjorette's tragic demise on Monday, vowing to extend all necessary assistance to her family.

“The DMW, through its Migrant Workers Office in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia (MWO-Al Khobar), and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, is collaborating with the Philippine Embassy and local law enforcement authorities in an ongoing investigation to uncover the circumstances of OFW Marjorette's passing,” the DMW stated.

Both Philippine and Saudi authorities are actively collaborating on the investigations. Although a suspect has reportedly been apprehended, the police are yet to ascertain the full details surrounding this heart-wrenching incident, according to local media.
