MANILA, Philippines — The remains of Jullebee Ranara, the overseas Filipino worker (OFW) who was killed in Kuwait, will be brought to the Philippines on Friday night, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Thursday.

“I could tell you that they’ve also worked, the embassies really worked with the employer so that the remains will be brought home, and that would be Friday night,” DFA Undersecretary Eduardo Jose de Vega said in a press briefing.
