The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) confirmed the death of an overseas Filipino worker in the magnitude-7.7 earthquake that hit Myanmar.

DFA Undersecretary Eduardo De Vega said Francis Aragon’s “remains were positively identified and the family of the deceased Filipino has been informed of the situation.

“The Department of Foreign Affairs regrets to inform the nation that the remains of one of the four missing Filipinos in Mandalay, Myanmar have been positively identified,” it said.

“Out of respect for the privacy (of the family) in this time of grief, we are withholding further information on the matter,” it added.

The DFA said it will “continue to work and hope for the best for the remaining three Filipinos still unaccounted for as a result of the powerful earthquake which hit Myanmar last 28th of March.”

Alvin Aragon, brother of the missing OFW, earlier in the day announced on Facebook that the body of his sibling has been found.

“Ipinapaalam po [namin] na nakita na po [‘yung’ kapatid namin at masakit man sa amin [tanggapin na kasama na siya] ni Lord [ngayon],” Alvin Aragon’s Facebook post read.

Francis is a 38-year-old Filipino working as a Physical Education teacher in Myanmar.
