"Yes, we are still waiting for further news from the Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Agency (BP2MI)," said Head of the Manpower Placement Division, Trenggalek Disperinaker, Pujianto as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, September 5.

He ensured that official information had not been received. Although the news of the information was widely circulated in line with the confirmation between PMIs that reached the family, relatives, and fellow PMI families in Trenggalek.

"So we cannot confirm whether it is a Trenggalek resident or not, because we have not received official information from BP2MI," he said.

So far, he continued, his party is still communicating with BP2MI regarding the news and news on social media about PMI from Trenggalek.
