DIPOLOG CITY, Zamboanga del Norte [June 9, 2026] —Dugang tabang pinansyal gikan sa kagamhanang probinsyal ang gitunol ni Acting Provincial Administrator Charmie A. Yu karong adlawa ngadto sa pamilya sa OFW nga nakabsan sa kinabuhi sa Lebanon niadtong Abril 15 ning tuiga.

Ang pinansyal nga ayuda gidawat sa inahan sa biktima samtang naghulat sa pag-abot sa patay’ng lawas sa iyang anak, nga gilauman nga moabot ugmang adlawa human sa duha ka bulan nga proseso sa repatriation.

Kahinumdoman nga gibisita sa mga opisyal ug personahe sa Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) pinangulohan ni DMW Undersecretary Bernard P. Olalia ang panimalay sa biktima didto sa Brgy. Olingan ning dakbayan kaniadtong Abril 21, kauban ang mga opisyal sa Probinsya sa Zamboanga del Norte.

Atol sa maong pagbisita, gawas sa inisyal nga tabang nga gidawat sa pamilya gikan sa nasyonal, gi-asumir sa kagamhanang probinsyal ang galastuhon sa lungon ug embalsamar samtang giangkon sa Pangagamhanang Lokal sa Dipolog ang lubnganan sa biktima.

Sa usa ka emosyonal nga mensahe, mipadayag sa iyang pagpasalamat ang inahan sa biktima ngadto kang Gob. Darel Dexter Uy ug mga kauban sa probinsya tungod kay nabati niya nga wala siya pasagdi panahon sa kalisod nga giatubang sa ilang pamilya.

“Magpasalamat ko’g dako ni Gob. Darel Uy ug sa (Dipolog)City nga ilang gihatag tanan nakong gipangayo, ang lubnganan sa akong anak, sa iyang lungon, sa iyang pagbalsamar, ug cash assistance nga ilang gihatag sa akoa…Magpasalamat gyud ko ila kong gitabangan aning akong problema ug wala ko nila pasagdi”, sulti sa inahan sa biktima.
