Pinoy Engineer in Libya Reported Missing


A Filipino engineer working for a British company in Libya has gone missing, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said today.

DFA spokesperson Raul Hernandez said that the Filipino engineer “went missing” after a group of armed rebels raided a housing unit owned by a British engineering company in the city of Tripoli.

Hernandez said that the incident happened around 2 a.m. yesterday, based on a report by DFA Undersecretary Rafael Seguis.

He said that the DFA already has the identity of the Filipino engineer, who was also acting as caretaker of the housing unit.

“We are not disclosing his identity because we have to inform his family,” Hernandez said in a radio interview.

The DFA spokesperson also reported another incident in Tripoli, involving service vehicles of Philippine representatives in Libya.

He said that Libyan rebels, who have already occupied most of the capital city, took the vehicles parked in front of the Philippine embassy office.

He said that among the cars taken were service vehicles of the Philippine labor attaché and the Overseas Workers’ Welfare Administration. He said vehicles of the United Nations and the world Health Organization were also taken by the rebels.
