The Diocese of Balanga has released a pastoral statement on the slaying of Jullebee Ranara, an overseas Filipino worker in Kuwait.
Balanga Bishop Ruperto C. Santos strongly condemned the killing of the 35 year old domestic worker by the son of her own employer and prayed for justice to be served.
“Jullebee Ranara would be at peace if justice is served. She is a human being with dignity, a mother who left her home to work overseas, thinking of the welfare of her four children, and dreaming of a better life for her family. However, her life ended abruptly at the hands of the 17 year old son of her employer. They should be held accountable for her death. Blood is in theirhands,” the Church leader said.
“The sanctity of life must be protected and respected at all times. Life is sacred because it is God’s gift and because man is created in God’s image. We demand our government officials to be more vigilant in protecting our OFWs, defending their rights and promoting their dignity. We pray and offer our Holy Masses and we also ask our Chaplains to do the same for the eternal rest of Jullebee Ranara, May she find comfort and peace with God.
