RP driver killed in Iraq attack; GMA orders no pullout.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Jerome Aning and Gil Cabacungan Jr.
THE FEARS of those opposed to the deployment of Filipinos to Iraq have been proved true with the killing on Wednesday of a Filipino civilian in that violence-wracked Mideast country.
Petronila Garcia, executive director of the Department of Foreign Affairs' Office of the Undersecretary for Migrant Workers' Affairs, yesterday identified the civilian as Rodrigo Reyes from the province of Rizal.
He was driving a truck in a convoy that was ambushed on a highway in the town of Abdali 600 km south of Baghdad and near the Kuwait border. Two others, both Ukrainians, also died in the attack.
Reyes, 52, was employed by the First Kuwait Trading, a subsidiary of Kellogg Brown & Root, a division of the Halliburton Companies. Halliburton has provided the bulk of logistics services for the US Army since 1992.
But despite Reyes' death, President Macapagal-Arroyo sees no need to order the evacuation of Filipinos from Iraq.
