OWWA calls on public to help locate relatives of deceased OFW in Saudi Arabia

The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) is appealing for assistance in locating the family of a deceased Filipino worker in Saudi Arabia, whose identity was confirmed through a resident ID shared on OWWA’s official Facebook page.

The OFW was identified as Isagani Facundo Banaag, born on February 9, 1960. OWWA did not disclose the circumstances surrounding his death but urged anyone who may know his relatives to come forward.

“Please contact the nearest OWWA or DMW office. You may also reach us via +966-56-232-9926, email us at alkhobar@owwa.gov.ph, or send a message on our Facebook page,” OWWA wrote.

The agency also encouraged the public to share the announcement to help trace his next of kin.
