Senator commends new Foreign Affairs chief
March 02, 2011
SENATOR Manuel “Lito” Lapid has commended Acting Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert Fel Rosario for personally leading repatriation efforts for thousands of Filipinos in strife-torn Libya.
In a statement, Lapid cited Del Rosario for disregarding his own personal safety by going to Libya in order to help evacuate the first batch of Filipino workers stranded in Tripoli over the weekend.
“Secretary Del Rosario’s heroic act of going into harm’s way and personally bringing to safety more than 400 Filipino workers goes to show that the Philippine Government has been exerting serious efforts to rescue our kababayans displaced by the ongoing political crisis in Libya,” Senator Lapid said.
“President Aquino made the right choice in appointing Secretary Del Rosario,” the Kapampangan legislator said. “We need more Albert Del Rosarios in government.”
In commending Del Rosario, Lapid cited reports that the new head of the Department of Foreign Affairs led a 55-vehicle convoy that travelled from Tripoli to the border region of Jerba in Tunisia, where the rescued Filipinos were processed for repatriation to Manila.
Del Rosario, a businessman and former envoy to the United States, quietly left for Tunisia on Friday, just a day after President Aquino swore him in as the new Secretary of Foreign Affairs.
Despite serious security concerns, he proceeded by land from Tunisia to the Philippine Embassy in Tripoli where he oversaw the entire repatriation effort.
Lapid said that while he shared the concerns of the families of Filipinos still awaiting rescue in Libya, he also understood the constraints that initially prevented the government from responding immediately to the crisis.
He said Filipino diplomats were doing the best they possibly could to assist Filipinos in Libya despite the limited resources they have at their disposal, as well as the volatile security situation in the ground.
As a result of these efforts, Senator Lapid said passenger aircraft and vessels are now available to bring the trapped Filipino workers home.
