MANILA, Philippines – The investigation into the death of Filipino nurse Reyna Jane Ancheta, who was found dead on a highway in Abu Dhabi after going missing for three days is still ongoing, the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) said Saturday.
In a news forum in Quezon City, DMW Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac said the Philippine government will sponsor the flight of her husband, Kenneth Paul, to the United Arab Emirates so that he could personally observe the probe until her remains can be repatriated.

“Iyong kaniyang pagbalik ay nakadepende rin sa imbestigasyon, hindi natin mamadaliin sa ngayon. Kaya nga ang ating lunas ay dalhin na lang iyong husband doon para mismo niya masaksihan iyong proseso ng pagpapa-uwi at iyong imbestigasyon. So, willing naman tayo doon (The repatriation of her remains depends on the investigation. What we can do at the moment is to bring her husband there so he can witness the investigation and the process of her repatriation),” Cacdac added.
