Slain OFW hoped to see son through college.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Blanche S. Rivera, Jerome Aning and Tonette Orejas
JOELLY Giray did not want to come home for good until his youngest son, a fourth-year computer engineering student, had graduated from college.
But suspected Islamic militants who attacked a residential compound hosting mostly Western expatriates in Khobar, Saudi Arabia, are sending Giray home one year before his son finishes school.
Giray, 52, was one of the three overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) killed over the weekend in the suspected al-Qaida attack on foreigners working in Saudi Arabia's vital oil industry. The other fatalities were Feliciano Dizon of Angeles City, Pampanga, and Mariano Cabasag of Ugong, Pasig City.
Cabasag was a cook at a Japanese restaurant in the Oasis Tower Hotel while Giray and Dizon worked as driver and accountant, respectively, at the Resource Sciences Arabia Ltd.
Two injured Filipinos, Jimwell Tarusa, an aircon company employee, and Alberto Costales have already been discharged from the hospital.
