24 August 2018 – The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) extends its sympathies to the family of an overseas Filipino worker who committed suicide in Bahrain. Our 37-year-old kababayan from Quezon was found hanging from a ceiling fan at the flat he was sharing with his sister north of Manama on Thursday.

Ambassador Alfonso A. Ver said the Philippine Embassy is in touch with Bahraini authorities in connection with the case. The Embassy is also in touch with the family of the deceased worker.

Ambassador Ver assured the family that the Embassy will arrange for the repatriation of the remains as soon as authorities finish medico-legal procedures. END
