Migrant Workers Secretary Susan “Toots” Ople passed away on Tuesday. She was 61.
DMW spokesperson Toby Nebrida confirmed the death of Ople at 1 p.m. Tuesday.
“It is with great sadness that the Department of Migrant Workers announces the passing of our dearest Secretary Susan “Toots” Ople. Secretary Toots peacefully joined our Creator at around 1 p.m. today, August 22, 2023 surrounded by her family and loved ones,” he said.
Nebrida asked for prayers from the public for Ople and her family.
“For the meantime, we ask for prayers for the eternal repose of the soul of our dear Sec. Toots. We ask as well for prayers for the Ople family,” he said.
It will be recalled that late in July, Ople decided to take a wellness break as her two elder brothers, former Hagonoy mayor Felix “Toti” Ople, as well as former journalist, Blas Ople Jr., died due to lung cancer.
