A 35-year-old Filipino domestic worker died on Monday in Hong Kong two days after she was sent to a hospital in Tai Po, New Territories. She had been diagnosed with lupus, an autoimmune disease.
Maristel P Pepito, from Baybay, Leyte, died at Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital in Tai Po, hongkongnews.com reported.
It was understood that she was first hospitalized in January and doctors determined that she had lupus. She was discharged on February 5.
But on February 16, she was again brought to the hospital after her condition worsened. An official with the Philippine Consulate in Hong Kong said Pepito had a pulmonary hemorrhage and her lupus had led to acute pneumonia. She was taken to the intensive care unit before she died.
Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) officers visited her on Sunday, and she died the following day.
The official said the consulate was coordinating with the woman’s family, employer, and employment agency on the repatriation of her remains to the Philippines.

Good day! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could find a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having trouble finding one? Thanks a lot!|
Hey this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!|

Everything composed made a bunch of sense. However, what about this? what if you were to create a awesome title? I am not suggesting your content is not solid., but what if you added a headline that makes people desire more? I mean BLOG_TITLE is kinda vanilla. You could glance at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create post titles to get people to open the links. You might add a video or a related pic or two to get readers interested about what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it might make your website a little livelier.|
