Some of the thousands of OFW’s still on quarantine after almost 2 months. Almost two weeks after finding it out they are negative, they still can’t go home because their certificates have not been printed yet.
An OFW in this facilty has already committed suicide.
Some say they too are experiencing depression. While they have free accomodation and food, the thought of not knowing when they can finally go home is taking a toll on their mental health.
And being told by an official that they are ungrateful for complaining is not helping.
An OFW staying here has two young kids with him, saying he has ran out of reasons to tell them on why they are still in quarantine and why they can’t go out of their tiny room.
Another has a child in Surigao threatening to commit suicide. She was the reason the OFW came home.
These OFW’s say it’s hard to understand why they cant go home. They have been on quarantine for almost two months with no symptoms and they have already tested negative in a PCR test. Their plea, to be allowed to go home as soon as possible.
