Palace vows to look into case of OFW on death row in Bahrain

The Office of the President promised to look into the case of the OFW who is currently on death row in Bahrain.

Special Assistant to the President Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go relayed the message to Precy Aguinaldo, the mother of the OFW.

Go said the government will talk to the authorities in Bahrain to change the sentence from death penalty to lifetime imprisonment.

“For the sentence to be commuted, we will knock on the doors of your majesty’s big heart and we will seek his safety from capital punishment through commutation of (the death) sentence to life imprisonment. That’s what we’re requesting from them, I hope Bahrain will hear us, let’s pray,” he said in Filipino.

Go also encouraged Aguinaldo not to lose hope and to keep praying for positivity regarding her son’s case.

Go earlier facilitated the speedy repatriation of the remains of Angelo Claveria, the OFW found in a septic tank in South Korea.

According to Claveria’s sister, Go personally called her to inquire about the details of his case and committed to help repatriate the remains of the Filipino worker.

Claveria’s skeletal remains arrived in the country at the Iloilo International Airport on Sunday morning.
