On December 15, the family of Terril Atienza, a Filipino national who died under suspicious circumstances in Mongolia in 2011, arrived in Ulaanbaatar.
Their arrival follows a renewed public outcry sparked by the investigative documentary titled "Enslaver" produced by journalist S.Budragchaa. He recently traveled to the Philippines to meet with Atienza's surviving relatives, bringing their story back to the forefront of Mongolian media.
Following the broadcast, a nationwide fundraising campaign was launched to help the family travel to Mongolia to seek answers. Approximately MNT 60 million was raised through donations from the Mongolian public. Atienza’s husband and two daughters touched down in Ulaanbaatar. They are scheduled to hold a press conference shortly, where they will formally request a re-examination of the 2011 case.
