Buscas is said to be in intensive care and has not regained consciousness despite a brain surgery soon
after her admission.
Rodelia Villar, leader of Domestic Workers Corner and a
friend of Buscas, told The SUN that a doctor attending to the patient said her
brain was not functioning but she was still breathing.
Virsie Tamayao, welfare officer of the Overseas Workers
Welfare Administration, said an OWWA team would visit Buscas on Monday evening
to find out about her condition.
Villar said the helper’s employer wants a member of her
family to come to Hong Kong to attend to her
in hospital, but the passport of her mother, a former OFW, has expired.
“Kawawa naman yung friend ko kasi walang kasama at di pa alam
yung status o chance niya na maka-survive,” Villar said.
Her condition was also widely shared on Facebook by friends.
One of them shared a photo showing the unconscious patient with her head shaved
and attached to a life-support system.
One of her friends, Lindy Paclibar, said Buscas is in her
40s, single and is from Santa Barbara , Iloilo
Paclibar also relayed the news about the other OFW patient,
Ma Corazon Leynes, who was rushed to hospital after showing symptoms of a mild
heart attack. But her condition won’t be known until OWWA’s visit to the
hospital this evening.
