                    [Title] => Pope offers help to OFWs in Lebanon
                    [Summary] => 



The Vatican has offered to help thousands of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) trapped in war-torn southern Lebanon.


Archbishop Fernando Filoni, Apostolic Nuncio in Manila, informed Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. of the offer in a letter dated July 18. De Venecia’s office released copies of the letter to the media yesterday.

The Speaker said it was clear that it was Pope Benedict XVI, whom President Arroyo visited a few weeks ago during her trip to Italy and Spain, who made the initiative to help Filipino workers in Lebanon.
