The teenage daughter of Filipina domestic helper Terril Atienza is seeking justice for her mother who died mysteriously in Mongolia in November last year.

In a press conference at the headquarters of Migrante International in Quezon City on Wednesday, Nyrriel Atienza, 16, said: “Nawalan po kami ng ina, nawalan po yung papa ko ng katuwang. Maliit pa po yung mga kapatid ko kaya lalaki sila nang walang ina.”

“Itong munting pangarap niya na makaahon kami sa buhay nasira po. Ngayon ang tangi na lang po naming hangad para sa kanya ay yung hustisya po sa pagkamatay niya,”  Nyrriel said.

According to a report distributed by Migrante during the press conference, Terril, 34, was said to have committed suicide by taking an overdose of sleeping pills in November last year.

Migrante said Terril’s body was repatriated to the Philippines on December 9 last year and an autopsy conducted by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) revealed that her heart was missing.

Parts of her brain, liver and stomach were either missing or not in the correct position. Pieces of rags were also found inside her body.

Nyrriel recounted: “Noong dumating po yung bangkay ni mama ng December 9 (2011), nakita po namin sa punerarya na puro pasa tapos puro po sugat at… may mga… may mga… parang hawak po ng kamay sa katawan niya. Napag-alaman po namin na wala po yung buong puso niya.”
