Return of Negrenses
from Libya hits snag
BY CARLA GOMEZ
The return to the Philippines of Negrenses in strife-torn Libya, who were set to board yesterday a vessel sent by the Philippine government to rescue overseas Filipino workers there, has been postponed.
Ernesto Begot Jr. of Barangay Bata, Bacolod City, said they were unable to board the vessel that was supposed to pick them up as they were told that the new date for its arrival at the Benghazi port in Libya is Wednesday.
We were unable to board the vessel because the port in Benghazi is closed, Begot said..
