MANILA-Vice President Jejomar C. Binay Friday
assured that the Filipino nurse reportedly raped in Libya is now under the
custody of the Philippine embassy in Tripoli.
“Na-contact na namin ‘yong ambassador natin sa Libya at nasa
embassy na ngayon ‘yong OFW at binibigyan ng kanyang mga pangangailangan,”
Binay said in an interview in Butuan City.
“Talagang peligroso ngayon d’yan para sa buhay n’yo dahil sa
higpit ng labanan,” he added.
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) had raised alert level 4
in Libya.
As Presidential Adviser on Overseas Filipino Workers’ (OFW)
Concerns, Binay appealed to OFWs to heed the government’s call for them to come
back home.
“Nananawagan ako sa ating mga kababayan sa Libya na sundin ang
tawag ng DFA para sa immediate and mandatory evacuation,” Binay said.
"Agaran kayong makipag-ugnay sa mga opisyal natin sa
embahada nang masiguro ang kaligtasan ninyo,” he added.
