a concerted effort in asking the Saudi government to grant Salmos exit. Nagpapasalamat tayo sa lahat ng mga tumulong para makauwi si Alfred - sa mga nagpost sa Facebook, sa mga taga-media, sa NGOs katulad ng Patnubay Riyadh at Powers of Prayers, at mga OFW Advocates sa Saudi Arabia, ang ating Philippine Consulate sa Jeddah, ang DFA at ang OWWA, Binay said. Dito naman sa Pilipinas, makakaasa kayo na magkakaroon din ng bayanihan sa pagtulong kay Mang Fred at sa kanyang pamilya na makabangong muli. Nariyan ang Ople Center at ang Office of the Vice President at iba pang mga pribadong samahan, he added. The 52-year-old Salmos, a native of Nueva Ecija, has been unemployed since his accident. He was in a coma for a month and is now still recuperating from his injuries, which have left him severely scarred.

Binay said during the observance of the 17th Migrant Workers Day. At the same time, Binay, the Presidential Adviser on Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) Concerns, said government officials are obligated to ensure that our overseas workers enjoy adequate protection and responsive service from the concerned government agencies and offices that they rightly deserve.

cases against those behind their recruitment. He also visited the Filipino Workers Resource Center in Kuala Lumpur where he talked with 19 victims of illegal recruitment who arrived in Malaysia via Tawi-Tawi and Sandakan in Sabah.

President Benigno S. Aquino III thanks Vice President Jejomar C. Binay after a 10-minute tour of the Coconut Palace.
Vice President Jejomar C. Binay expressed disappointment over the failure to apprehend Globe Asiatique (GA) president Delfin Lee and his co-accused in the syndicated estafa case filed by the government before a Pampanga court. The victims of Globe Asiatique are demanding justice. I am disappointed that Delfin Lee remains at large a month after the court ordered his arrest, Binay said. I hope that our law enforcement agencies will double their effort to find Lee and his co-accused, he added. The Vice President had described the case against Lee as proof of the Aquino administrations determination to pursue the campaign against graft and misuse of government funds. Last May 22, Judge Amifaith Fider-Reyes of the Regional Trial Court Branch 42 in San Fernando, Pampanga issued warrants of arrest with no recommendation for bail against Lee and other GA officials. The Department of Justice (DOJ) had filed syndicated estafa charges against Lee after an investigation ordered by Binay revealed that GA used ghost borrowers and fake documents to obtain over P6.5 billion in loans from the Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG). In October 2010, after he was named housing czar, Binay directed Pag-IBIG to investigate the fraudulent loans obtained by GA during the previous administration. The agency then filed a complaint against Lee and several others before the DOJ. Earlier, Binay questioned the issuance by a Pasig Regional Trial Court of an injunction order covering the syndicated estafa case and another case for double sale filed by PagIBIG and DOJ against Lee. The Court of Appeals (CA), however, struck down the decision last month.
