Group calls on govt. agencies to provide assistance to OFW whose wife, children were massacred in Bulacan

A migrants’ rights group today calls on concerned Philippine government agencies to provide assistance to an Italy-based overseas Filipino worker (OFW) whose father-in-law, his wife and two children were massacred early Thursday morning in a village in Balagtas, Bulacan.

Citing police reports, the victims were identified as Rodrigo Roque, 77, his daughter Cristina Roque Santa Ana, 42, and her children Corine Joy, 12, and Christian, 10.

Police investigators believed that the motive might be robbery but puzzled since there were no indications of forced entry of the perpetrators into the victims’ house.

“As we extend our condolences to our fellow OFW and his relatives, we condemned the gruesome killings of his wife, children, and father in-law. It’s really shocking and painful for an OFW rushing to fly home only to see the lifeless bodies of his loved ones,” said Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator John Leonard Monterona, who is also from Bulacan.

Monterona added that Philippine authorities, by all means, headed by the Philippine National Police (PNP) must conduct hot pursuit operation against these ruthless criminals and put them behind bars, then an appropriate case must swiftly be filed.

Monterona also calls on the concerned government agencies to provide assistance to the OFW.

“We call on the concerned Philippine government agencies to provide to our fellow OFW the needed assistance, legal and financial, as well as burial assistance from the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA),” Monterona added.

Monterona noted that this is not the first time that OFW families have been victimized by coldblooded criminals.

“OFW families, in the absence of either the father or the mother or even both, become an easy target of criminals. The authorities, the local police and Barangay officials, must provide protection to OFW families and children by improving and intensifying its anti-crime operations within the OFW communities under its jurisdiction,” Monterona ended. # # #
