The remains of 25-year-old Eugenia Baja would arrive in Manila on Thursday evening, the Department of Foreign Affairs said.

In a text message to GMANews.TV, DFA spokesperson Claro Cristobal said Baja's body would be flown from Saudi Arabia via a CX903 flight and is expected to arrive at around 6:30 p.m.

From Manila, Baja's remains is expected to depart for Tagbilaran City in Bohol via PR175 on Friday afternoon.

"[The Overseas Workers' Welfare Administration] will assist in the airport transfer," Cristobal said.

"OWWA personnel based in Cebu will travel to Tagbilaran to assist," he added.

Baja's death had baffled her relatives as well as migrant workers' group Migrante International.

According to Migrante, Baja killed herself by banging her head inside her employers' tiled comfort room last February 24.

Meanwhile, the DFA through the Philippine embassy in Riyadh is coordinating with Saudi authorities on the resolution of Baja's case. -GMANews.TV
