According to Welfare Officer Romeo Pablo, even in her departure, Gutierrez was treated badly by her employer, who reportedly refused to hand over her passport, claiming that she had a problem with her documents.Needled by Pablo and Welfare Officer Romualdo Exmundo to show compassion to her former employee who had served her well, and considering that she did not pay for the hospital bills, the employer reluctantly gave a measly 500 Saudi riyals, or about P7,000.
Sinabi Welfare Officer Romeo Pablo ng OWWA na tumanggi ang employer na ibigay ang passport ng OFW dahil may diperensya umano ang mga papeles na papipirmahan kay Gutierrez.Hindi na rin umano napigilan ng mga opisyal ng Pilipinas ang magalit sa employer dahil sa tila panggigipit nito sa OFW.
