Haggiyo.

There’s someone dead that needs to be sent home with dignity, yet all these wrangling about OFW rules.

Lawyers in Canada or the US, who wants to help in this regard (pro bono), needs to explore the potential civil liabilities of the employers since her death was inside their residence. That should be covered by the homeowners property insurance.
By the looks of the property, liability insurance on that property should be at the minimum at least half-million US dollars.
Bill, the late Jocelyn Dulnuan’s mother should be advised of this.
Maybe Atty Dornagon is listening and lend a hand.
I’m pessimistic of the Philippines
helping in this matter, so the only recourse, sue for civil liabilities, and cross our fingers it will work. I don’t see any reason it won’t work UNLESS, the property has no such insurance!
Cheers to those esquires willing to look into this matter.
