An overseas Filipina worker is missing in Kuwait for 18 months, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs.
Ronalyn Yonting Lawagan, a household service worker, last contacted her family in February 2017 after she was reported to have ran away from her Kuwaiti employer.
Chargé d’Affaires Mohammad Nordin Pendosina Lomondot said the Embassy requested the assistance of Kuwaiti authorities in April 2018 when her recruiter reported her disappearance.
Lawagan is suspected to still be in Kuwait as no travel records showed that she exited the country; she also did not show up in the Embassy’s search in prisons and hospitals.
“We are requesting our kababayan who may know where Ronalyn is to immediately inform us so we can assist her,” Chargé d’Affaires Lomondot said.
