Jessie Oliva, Maricris’ friend, said that she was taking care of the child and her grandmother was awaiting her arrival to the Philippines.

Cris, however, does not have a birth certificate, which is one of the requirements to get her home to the Philippines.

Adrian Baccay of the Philippine Embassy in Kuwait said that the “ status of these children” was undocumented. The girl is expected to return to the country in September. (AW)
