(Eagle News)–The Kuwaiti government has summoned the Philippine ambassador to the Middle Eastern country.
A report on Kuwaiti News Agency said the ambassador was also handed protest notes over the recent remarks of several Filipino officials which the report said “entailed serious offenses against the State.”
The report said the protest notes were also over the “actions made by some Philippine embassy’s employees in violation of the diplomatic norms governing the relations of the two countries as per the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.”
The report was apparently referring to the rounds made by embassy officials to rescue abused Overseas Filipino Workers in the Middle Eastern country dubbed “Rescue in the Desert.”
The move comes following President Rodrigo Duterte’s scathing remarks against Kuwaitis over the abuse of several OFWs, and the death of Joanna Demafelis.
Demafelis’ body was found in a freezer this year.
