July 29, 2006 (2ND UPDATE) A TOTAL of 244 Filipinos are returning on Saturday from war-torn Lebanon, GMA Network’s dzBB reported. The first batch of 89 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), with three children, or a total of 92, arrived around 2 p.m. at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) onboard a Qatar Airways flight. They were immediately processed and taken to the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) office in Pasay City to make room for the second batch of around 120 expected to arrive 3:30 p.m. on a Thai Airways flight from Bangkok. At 3:30 p.m., a second batch of 120 flew in on a Thai Airways flight from Bangkok. Among them was Liezel Saludo of Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental, who was in a wheelchair with fractures on her arm and leg, stitches on her face and other injuries from what she told reporters at the NAIA was an accident in Lebanon. Saludo was weeping because she said her relatives in Negros do not know she was returning. A third batch of 20 is arriving around 6:30 p.m. on Cathay Pacific CX 903 from Hong Kong while the fourth and last batch of the day, a group of 12, is flying in on another Qatar Airways flight around 11 p.m. |
