MANILA — The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) on Friday said it is continuing to search for Filipinos who were possibly hurt in the 7.2 magnitude earthquake last April 3 in Taiwan as a fourth Filipino has been reported injured.
Maharlika NuMedia gathered that the Taiwan quake death toll has risen to 10 and 38 missing.
“She sustained head injuries due to falling debris. She is out of harm’s way and is being treated by a doctor,” DMW Officer-in-Charge Hans Cacdac said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
He added that the still unidentified overseas Filipino worker (OFW) only sustained minor injuries, was treated in a hospital, and has since been discharged.
However, the DMW OIC said 30-year-old Chris Gumahin remains in the hospital after he fainted and still losing consciousness for hours after the main shock.
“The DMW Migrant Workers Offices (MWO) in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung continue to monitor the situation and are ready to assist OFWs who need it,” Cacdac assured.
