During the event, the Embassy introduced new Chargé d’Affaires Alan Roi Q. Gabriola. Close to fifty Filcom members, including some coming from Misurata and Sirte, attended the afternoon event.
CDA Gabriola bared the Embassy’s plans and priorities under the new leadership. “Prayoridad ng Pasuguan ang ihanda ang Filipino community sa dalawang posibilidad---una, ang muling pagkakaroon ng kaguluhan, at pangalawa, ang kasalungat nito, ang panunumbalik ng kapayapaan at kaayusan sa bansang ito," he said.
CDA Gabriola shared that during the months of October and November the Embassy will conduct successive jobsite visits to assess first-hand the condition of Filipinos at work, roll out mapping activities and issuance of consular IDs to account for all Filipinos currently in Libya, and meet with Libyan authorities to discuss concerns of Filipinos in the labor and health sectors.
“Inaanyayahan ang lahat ng mga Filipino sa Libya na makibahagi sa mga nasabing programa,” he added. END
