[Title] => Gov’t warns situation in Lebanon still dangerous despite ceasefire
[Summary] => Government crisis managers warned Filipinos in Lebanon yesterday that the situation remains dangerous despite the ceasefire implemented between Israel forces and Hezbollah guerrillas.
The number of evacuees had begun to dwindle in the last few days as the ceasefire takes effect.
Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Esteban Conejos said the government has intensified its information campaign to Filipinos, particularly those in southern Lebanon, through paid advertisements in at least three local newspapers and in the international Arabic network Al-Jazeera.

[Title] => House OKs P500-M Lebanon evac fund
[Summary] => The House appropriations committee approved yesterday President Arroyo’s request for P500 million to be used for the mass evacuation of Filipino workers in Lebanon.
Albay Rep. Joey Salceda, committee chairman, said the amount would be added to the P46.4-billion supplemental budget that his panel also approved.
Thus, additional appropriations that would augment the reenacted P907-billion 2005 budget would total P46.9 billion, he said.
