The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) is appealing for information on two overseas Filipino workers who have been missing in Hong Kong since Oct. 4, expressing deep concern over their disappearance.
Citing reports from its Migrant Workers Office (MWO) in Hong Kong, the DMW on Tuesday identified the missing Filipino workers as Imee Mahilum Pabuaya, 24, and Aleli Perez Tibay, 33, who were last seen in the Tsuen Wan District.
“We appeal to anyone who may have information on the possible whereabouts of Mrs. Pabuaya and Mrs. Tibay to immediately contact our Philippine Consulate or the MWO-Hong Kong. Every tip, photo, or detail could be a crucial key to locating them more quickly,” the DMW said in a statement.
Information may be relayed through telephone number +852 2866 0640, the DMW hotline 1348, or via email at mwo_hongkong@dmw.gov.ph.
The DMW said it is coordinating closely with MWO-Hong Kong, monitoring developments, adding that it is ready to provide legal, medical, emergency and emotional assistance to the families of the missing workers.
“We continue to coordinate with local authorities to ensure their safety and their immediate location and recovery,” the DMW added, noting that it is already working with the Philippine Consulate General, the Hong Kong Police Force, and the Hong Kong Immigration Department to conduct a thorough investigation and active search for the two Filipinos.
