To Sir Enriko and company, tibayan lang ang loob at malalampasan nyo din lahat yan.

Dapat naka-secure itong thread at ingatan din yung timing ng media strategy.
Pag sumabog ito ng masyadong maaga, baka lalong magmatigas yung Saudi authorities, mapahuli pa yung iba.
Don't telegraph your punches, eka nga.
Let's try to get reliable situationers.
Who would be the best liaison to OVP/Kabayan?

having been an OFW myself, situations like this simply proves how phil embassies abroad are inutile. they simply do nothing except media mileage at home. we cant really rely on our kabayans who are supposively working for us. yup, i agree its only VP de castro can help enrico. for the meantime, hope tsikoteers in the area can reach out for them. kaya nila yan, pinoy pa?

nakausap ko si Sir enriko 6 hours ago, sabi nya he might have access sa net after 30 mins. i guess di pa din siya nakapag net since wala daw kasi kuryente don sa place nila at ginagawan lang ng paraan nung kasama niya.

Sir bhongskie di daw sila nakapag meet pa ni ******** but nakapag usap daw sila sa phone. Di daw kasi siya maka alis dahil wala nga yun passport at Iqama nila, doon lang sila sa workshop naka stay.

The best possible thing is to go the office of the VP. VP De Castro helped many OFW'S.

**Corollax** · December 31st, 2007 11:15 AM

We can report it to the offfice the Vice President. VP Noli helped many OFW.

this should be emailed to the office of the DFA. so the gov't could extend help and support to them.

Per a text message I received at 10:19pm 12/31/07 from Elaine, ehnriko's wife, the team is now out of jail and back at the workshop. But everyone is sick. They are hoping that we can help them raise funds for both medicine and food as their employer has no money to give them.

While it is a welcome development, I hope tsikoteers and other concerned parties will continue to monitor the situation and help them until they are safely back home.

Keep safe, everyone, and hope the new year will bring better tidings.
