OFWS IN BAHRAIN TO BE REPATRIATED

By Aurea Calica (The Philippine Star) Malacañang said yesterday it would repatriate overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Bahrain who may want to go home, but will not yet resort to forced evacuation andrepatriation despite the declaration of martial law in that country. Violence in Bahrain escalated anew after the Kingdom’s besieged monarch declared martial law and ordered troops –including Saudi forces – to take all measures to quell a festering rebellion.
