"The Department also stands ready to assist the OFW in terms of explaining his absence from work to his current overseas employer," the DMW added in their now-viral official statement.
The accident occurred early on Sunday, May 4, when, according to GMA News, a black SUV rammed into the departure area of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), killing two people—one of them being Masongsong's young daughter, which has since made headlines.
Following the tragedy, ABS-CBN News reported that the remains of the four-year-old child have been brought to Lipa City in Batangas, with Masongsong talking about his wife and child.
In the same report, he revealed that his wife, who is still recovering at St. Luke's Medical Center in Taguig City, is unaware that their daughter has passed away after the tragic incident in NAIA.
"Hindi pa po niya alam na wala na iyong anak namin. Nakakalungkot po. Talagang mahal na mahal ko po iyan. Kaya po ako nag-ibang bansa para sa kanilang dalawa. Tapos ganto yung mangyayari," he told the media.
