19 October Update
From Vincent Cabreza:
The remains of slain domestic helper Jocelyn Dulnuan arrived in Manila as a militant migrant workers’ organization appealed to the Arroyo administration to ensure that her killing was solved.
…
There were no hysterics from her family but the tears flowed. The Dulnuans have a four-year-old daughter, Migrante said.
The crate bearing Dulnuan’s casket was loaded to a jeepney, and would be brought to Hingyon, Ifugao, her home province.

“As a parent she wants to provide her daughter with a better education, a better future,” recalled relative Fay Hangdan to those on hand. “As a sister she wants to help her siblings back home.”
