SENATE President Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III on Friday sought a Senate inquiry on the tragic death of overseas Filipino worker Irma Avila Edloy who was reportedly sexually abused by her employer in Saudi Arabia.
“The tragic death of Edloy reminds us time and again of the risk to life and limbs faced by our OFWs, especially female OFWs employed as domestic workers,” said Pimentel.
