The OFW, who had traveled a long journey from Kuwait, was discovered deceased by fellow passengers on Tuesday, August 5.
The victim was identified as Wilma Auza, a 41-year-old resident of Barangay San Isidro, Manjuyod, Negros Oriental.
Auza's arduous trip home had taken her from Kuwait through a series of connecting flights that passed through Japan, Manila, and Cebu. From the Cebu airport, she proceeded to the South Bus Terminal, where she boarded a bus to Dumaguete City.
She then took another bus from Dumaguete, which was to be her final leg of the journey home.
According to initial reports from authorities, fellow bus passengers noticed that Auza seemed unwell during the trip.
They recounted that she appeared to be experiencing bouts of vomiting. After this, she reportedly settled down and fell asleep, presumably exhausted from her long and emotional trip.
However, when the bus reached its destination, passengers were unable to wake her. It was then that they discovered she was no longer breathing.
First responders were called to the scene, and Auza’s body was immediately taken to the local Rural Health Unit for a formal medical examination.
Police investigators are now looking into her medical history to determine the official cause of death.
The incident has sent a wave of shock and grief through her family, who had been eagerly awaiting her arrival after her long absence.
The untimely passing of Wilma Auza is a heartbreaking reminder of the immense sacrifices and often unseen struggles faced by OFWs.
These modern-day heroes endure not only the loneliness of being away from home but also the physical and mental toll of working abroad.
They travel great distances, often under grueling conditions, all for the sake of their families. For a homecoming to end in such a tragic manner is a profound loss and a stark illustration of the emotional and physical challenges that come with being an OFW.
Police and local officials have been coordinating with Auza's relatives to provide assistance and to help them with the necessary arrangements for her funeral. The investigation into the cause of her death is ongoing.
News, photos, or videos that arouse the interest of netizens would often go viral on social media, due to the attention netizens give them. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, this could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable stories that people could easily understand and relate in their lives.
In other news, the grandmother of 17-year-old Jonalyn Oliva described her as a kind and responsible granddaughter who always helped with household chores before school. Jonalyn died in a motorcycle accident in Balintawak, Pagadian City, after deciding to go out with friends on a school day without classes due to Buwan ng Wika activities. Her parents, both Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in Brunei and Kuwait, are devastated by the loss, with her mother arranging to fly home immediately. Jonalyn’s father lamented that death seems to follow him every time he returns home, as the family had previously lost their eldest child.
Still in other news, a 36-year-old businessman was arrested for allegedly masterminding the killing of his friend over a commission dispute from a land sale in Lipa City. The 45-year-old victim was shot by riding-in-tandem assailants upon arriving at an auto mechanic shop in Barangay Marawoy and later died in the hospital. Authorities tracked the suspects using CCTV footage and arrested two men, who then pointed to a 54-year-old gunman; a .45 caliber pistol used in the killing was recovered. In his sworn statement, the gunman identified the victim’s friend as the mastermind, revealing they were paid an initial ₱50,000 for the murder.
